Simply put, Sarbanes-Oxley addresses the following:• Establishment of a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) under the SEC to oversee public accounting firms and issue accounting standards• New standards for corporate boards of directors• New standards for accountability and
If Accounts Receivable had increased during the period, the adjustment of net income would be the opposite; that is, an increase in a noncash current asset leads to an adjustment that [adds to / subtracts from]net income in order to find the cash flow from operations.
Because the increase in Cash was [more than / less than] the amount of Revenues, we must [add to / subtract from] net income the amount that Cash was greater than Revenues. As shown above, this was$ ,000. Enter this amount in Exhibit 11.
This example shows that if the ending balance in Accounts Receivable was less than its beginning balance, the increase in Cash would be [more than / less than / the same as] the amount of Revenues.Part of the increase in Cash would be the result of decreasing Accounts Receivable. Put another way,
The Accounts Receivable balance would have been [$12,000 larger than / $12,000 smaller than / the same as] the balance when cash receipts equaled sales revenues. Revenues in 2012 would still have been $400,000.
Whistle blowers are those who have publicly exposed undesirable or unlawful behavior by companies. This term comes from the notion that blowing a whistle calls attention to something. SOX also provides extended w _____ b ____ protection to employees who disclose private information about their
The above accounts show that in this situation, the ending balance of Cash would have been [$12,000 larger than / $12,000 smaller than /the same as] the Cash balance when cash receipts equaled sales revenues, as shown in Frame
This is the case with all working capital accounts. If the beginning balance is the same as the ending balance, an adjustment from the accrual basis to the cash basis [is / is not] necessary when preparing the statement of cash flows.
In Chico Company, all sales were credit sales. If sales in 2012 were$400,000, Revenues would be $ ,000, and Accounts Receivable would increase by $ ,000 when these sales were made.
SOX has also made it a crime to destroy or conceal documents that might be used in official proceedings. Presumably company officials will now be discouraged from such behavior. Because such tampering is a c ______ activity, penalties and jail may be the result.
If all revenues in 2012 were from cash sales, cash inflows [would /would not] be the same amount as revenues; that is, if sales revenues were $400,000, cash inflows would be $ ,000. However, in most companies, some sales are made to credit customers. These sales are first reported as the current
Cash, accounts receivable, inventory, and similar items that will be converted into cash in the near future are c assets.Accounts payable, wages payable, and similar obligations that are due in the near future are c liabilities. The difference between current assets and current liabilities is
Thus, depreciation [is / is not] a source of cash. (This is a common misconception because of the role it plays on the statement of cash flows to adjust net income to a cash basis.)
In summary, SOX has provided the oversight and structure to encourage annual reports that are [easier to read / more comprehensive and detailed]. In so doing the new law requires the behavior and disclosure on the part of management to increase public confidence and t ___ .
To repeat, the cash for fixed assets was paid out when the fixed assets were purchased (or when borrowings made in connection with such a purchase were paid back). Cash [is / is not] affected by the depreciation charge; to do so would be double counting.
If Depreciation expense was $4,000 higher than the amount reported in Exhibit 10, Net Income would be $4,000 [higher than /lower than / the same as] the amount reported. The $4,000 increase in Depreciation expense would offset exactly the $4,000 decrease in Net Income. Cash flow would be [higher
Suppose that Chico Company had decided to recognize Depreciation expense of $10,000, rather than $6,000, in 2012 but made no other changes in the accounts. The cash flow from operating activities would then be[higher than / lower than / the same as] the amount reported in Exhibit 11.
Although depreciation expense is subtracted from revenue in arriving at net income, it is not a cash outflow . Net income is $6,000 less than it would have been with no depreciation expense. Therefore, Net Income is adjusted to a cash basis by [adding $6,000 to / subtracting $6,000 from] Net
According to its income statement, Chico Company had a Depreciation expense of $ ,000 in 2012. Depreciation recognizes a portion of the cost of fixed assets. The cash outflow for the assets on hand at the beginning of 2012 occurred in earlier years; this Depreciation expense therefore [was / was
According to its balance sheet (Exhibit 10), Chico Company owned PPE, most of which it had acquired [prior to / in] the year 2012 at a cost of $ ,000. The cash outflow for these assets occurred[prior to 2012 / in 2012].
Net income is the difference between r ____ es and e ____ es. “Cash flow from operating activities” is the difference between operating cash inflows and operating cash outflows. To find the amount of cash flow from operating activities, we must make two types of adjustments to net income to
Therefore, since the statement of cash flows must total the change in for an accounting period, it must total to the difference in the Cash account from one (which financial statement?) to the next. We will show this reconciliation later.
In preparing the statement of cash flows, we are interested in changes in the balance sheet accounts from one accounting period to another. The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to provide information about items that caused the c _____ in cash from one balance sheet to another. This will
The indirect method uses balance sheet account changes to determine whether such changes had a positive or negative impact on c ___ f ___ . Since the balance sheet must always stay in balance, it is easy to determine the impact on c by analyzing changes in each of the other accounts.
There are two acceptable methods of preparing the statement of cash flows. One is to summarize the inflows and outflows to the Cash account directly ; it is therefore called the d ____ method.Most companies, however, use the other method, which is called the ind ____ method.
For example, assume that an entity sold goods for $1,600 on May 1, and the customer paid $1,600 for these goods on June 1. Its cash inflow on May 1 would be [$0 / $1,600], and its revenue in May would be [$0 / $1,600]. Its cash inflow on June 1 would be [$0 /$1,600], and its revenue in June would
Both the income statement and the statement of cash flows report flows during the period. The difference is that the income statement reports flows on the accrual basis; that is, inflows are measured as r s and outflows are measured as e s.By contrast, the statement of cash flows reports inflows
In this part, we describe the third required statement. It reports the flow of cash during the accounting period, and it is therefore called the statement of c __ f __ s .
A company must prepare three financial statements. We described two of them in earlier parts. The [balance sheet / income statement] reports the financial status of the company as of the end of each accounting period. The [balance sheet / income statement] reports financial performance during the
The mat ____ concept states that the expenses of a period are costs associated with the revenues or activities of the period.
Realization concept: Revenues are recognized when goods or services are .
Materiality concept : Disregard matters.Disclose matters.
Conservatism concept: Revenues are recognized when they are reasonably c _____ . Expenses are recognized when they are reasonably p ______ .
Asset-measurement concept: Accounting focuses on the f __ v ___ of monetary assets; nonmonetary assets are reported at an amount based on c __ .

Entity concept: Accounts are kept for an as distinguished from the p _____ associated with that entity.
Money-measurement concept: Accounting reports only facts that can be expressed in .
Dual-aspect concept: ____________________ = _____________________ + _________________ .
In an analysis of a business’s performance, percentages of certain income statement items are usually calculated. The base, or denominator(i.e., 100%), is sales revenue . One percentage is the gross margin percentage; it is found by dividing G ___ M ____ by S ___ R _____ .
Remember that dividends are [an expense / a distribution of earnings to owners]. Dividends are not [an expense / a distribution of earnings to owners].
As a result, the total Retained Earnings on December 31, 2012, was $ .
Retained Earnings decreased by $4,390,000, representing a distribution to the shareholders in the form of .
During 2012, profitable operations resulted in Net Income of$ , which increased Retained Earnings by this amount.(Net income is the bottom line on the income statement.)
Exhibit 8 shows a financial report package consisting of an income statement and two balance sheets. Exhibit 8 shows that Retained Earnings on December 31, 2011, was $
Thus, a useful accounting “report package” consists of a(n)at the beginning of the accounting period, a(n) for the period, and a(n)at the end of the period.
A(n) (what accounting report?)reports certain changes in retained earnings that have taken place between two (what accounting reports?).
An income statement is a summary of R E that have been generated during a fiscal year.
Because income is always supposed to be the difference between sales revenue and expenses, a term such as “sales income” [is / is not] a misleading term. However, it is sometimes used.A PACKAGE OF ACCOUNTING REPORTS
Revenues are defined as [increases / decreases] in the R E item on the balance sheet. Expenses are [increases / decreases] in that item. Net income is the difference between and .
To arrive at net income, dividends [are / are not] subtracted from revenues. Dividends [are / are not] an expense. Dividends are a distribution of earnings to shareholders.
The final item (the bottom line) on an income statement is called(or Net Loss , if expenses were larger than revenues).
The next item on Exhibit 8, for, is shown separately because it is an especially important expense. These taxes relate to the income tax payable on the current period’s income, not the income tax paid in that period.
In accordance with the m ______ concept, these expenses include costs related to the c _____ period and costs that do not benefit f ____ periods (i.e., losses).
Exhibit 8 shows that are subtracted from Gross margin, giving the item before.
The difference between sales and cost of sales is called in Exhibit 8. Write an equation, using the terms cost of sales , sales revenue , and gross margin .5 2
The item on the second line is labeled of. It reports the cost of the goods or services whose revenue is reported on the first line. This is an example of the concept.
There is no standard format for an income statement. The lower portion of Exhibit 8 shows one common format. The first item on this income statement is , which is the amount of products (i.e., goods and services)during the period.
The amount added to Retained Earnings as a result of profitable operations during a period is the income of the period. An I ____ statement explains how this income was earned.
The equity section of a balance sheet shows the two sources of equity capital: (1) the capital supplied by equity investors (i.e., proprietors, partners, shareholders), which is called Paid-in C _____ , and (2) that portion of the earnings resulting from profitable operations that have been
The matching concept says that general costs of operations during any period are expenses of that period. Thus the $4,000 general costs of operations in June are expenses in (what month?).
In accordance with the realization concept, the $30,000 down payment received on House B in June [was / was not] revenue in June. It will be revenue in (what month?). Because Homes, Inc., has an obligation to deliver the house, the $30,000 is a(n) [asset / liability] on the balance sheet at the end
The matching concept requires that the costs associated with the revenues of a period be recognized as expenses of that period.Therefore, the two commissions associated with House A, totaling$ , should be recognized as expenses in(what month?), even though they were not paid in that month.
Now consider the costs that are associated with the total revenue from the sale of House A, $180,000, in June. One of these costs was the cost of House A, which was $ .
Delivery of the deed to a house is delivery of the ownership of the house. Exhibit 7 states that for House A this happened in(what month?); therefore, revenue from the sale of House A is recognized in (what month?).
The balance sheet at the beginning of a period reports assets obtained as a result of e _________ s made in earlier periods. Part of these asset amounts will expire and therefore will be e _____ s of the current period. The remainder will be carried forward to future periods and will be reported as
The cash payments associated with any of these expenses may have been made in a prior period or in the current period, or they may be made in a future period, when the [assets / liabilities] are paid.
Third, there are losses that are recognized in the current period.These may recognize a reasonably possible decrease in a(n) [asset /liability] because of fire, theft, or other reasons. Or, they may recognize a reasonably possible increase in a(n) [asset / liability] arising from events occurring
Second, there are costs that are associated with activities of the period . The expenditures for these costs were made either in the current period or in an earlier period. If made in an earlier period, these amounts are a ____ on the balance sheet as of the beginning of the current period.
Three types of costs are expenses of the current period. First, there are the costs of the goods and services that are delivered in the current revenues period and whose r ______ are recognized in that period.
A loss is recorded as an expense if it is reasonably possible that the loss occurred, even though it is not certain. Thus, if a customer sues Hall Company in 2011, and if it seems reasonably possible that Hall Company will lose the lawsuit, the estimated loss is recorded as an expense [in 2011 /
Thus, although an asset does not provide benefits during a period, it is an expense of that period if its cost has expired for any reason. Such expenses are called losses . A loss is recorded as an expense [in the period in which the loss occurs / over the periods that the asset was supposed to
Assets provide benefits to future periods. Suppose Bailey Company owned an uninsured machine that was destroyed by fire in 2011. The machine[will / will not] benefit future periods. The asset amount carried for the machine therefore expired in 2011, and this amount is recorded as an[expense /

Prepaid Expenses are turned into expenses by a debit to the [asset /expense] account and a credit to the [asset / expense] account. Accrued Liabilities are discharged by a debit to [Cash / Accrued Liabilities] and a credit to [Cash / Accrued Liabilities].
Earlier we saw that if rent is paid prior to the period in which the expense was incurred, the amount is first debited to Prepaid Rent, which is a(n) [asset / liability] account. As the previous frame indicates, if rent is paid after the period in which the expense was incurred, the credit is made

If expenditures were made in an earlier period, the unexpired costs are a ___ s until the period in which the expense is recognized.We shall consider several examples. The first is an intangible asset.
When products are delivered, their costs are matched with revenues in the period in which the sale takes place. These costs become expenses of that period. This is one application of the m ______ concept. Other costs associated with activities of the current period are also expenses, even though
Hall Company purchased an automobile for $15,000 in March and sold it for $18,000 in May.In May, Hall Company recognizes $18,000 of from the sale of this automobile. It must m ___ the $15,000 of cost with the revenue from the sale of the same automobile. Thus, its expense in May is $15,000. The
To illustrate, consider an automobile that Hall Company, an automobile dealer, purchased for $15,000 in March and sold (i.e., delivered)for $18,000 in May. At the end of April, the automobile was in the Hall Company inventory, so its cost was [expired / unexpired]. At the end of May, its cost was
