She recently acquired several new accounts when a previous representative, Dan, took an early retirement. Sue reviewed each of Dan’s accounts to help familiarize herself with his clients and understand how she can better serve each one’s individual needs.

- A friend, Wazir, has asked you for advice because he understands very little about accounting statements. His accountant has prepared the following summary of the last three years results of Wazir’ shoe business: Wazir tells you that in the early months of 20X5 a discount shoe operation opened near his shop. His sales suffered at first because of the competition, but after about 8 months the rival went out of business. Wazir decided, however, that he had better extend the range of inventory carried and also increase the floor area of the selling space so as to build up revenue. Since the end of 20X5 he has rented additional showroom and storage space from the business next door. Wazir would like you to explain to him the impact of these events on his business performance.

You know that he has incurred a refrigeration repair expense during the month, but you see no such expense on the books. When you question the client, he tells you that he has not yet paid the 1,255 bill. Your client is on the accrual basis of accounting. He does not want the refrigeration repair expense on the books as of the end of the month because he wants his profits to look good for the bank. Is your client behaving ethically by suggesting that the refrigeration repair expense not be booked until the 1,255 is paid? Are you behaving ethically if you agree to the clients request?
