This is a case we worked on during the Annual AICPA Accounting and Tax Conference in Washington DC a few years ago. It is a fairly complicated case that took my team a while to figure out. I believe it is a great way to practice your debits and credits. It was a 100-minute session with top KPMG European partners acting as workshop leaders.

Required - Make all journal entries indicated for FY 2012 using pages 3 and 4. Observe that positive R/E and Reserve numbers are credits and negative numbers are debits to R/E and Reserves. Your analyses must show the accounts that are Credited and Debited against the DRs and CRs made in the R/E account and in the OCI Reserve accounts.

This is a critical analysis and thinking case that requires you to analyze incomplete information and synthesize a solution drawing upon mostly Intermediate Accounting knowledge and information gained from the IFRS text. The MSWord file email attachment should be one page (the last page completed).

Specific Tips: 1. Profit for the year is Comprehensive Income which is the sum of Net Income and Other Comprehensive Income. Net Income is 4,221 and OCI is (22) and must be shown separately from R/E in the SE section of the balance sheet. (see: p. 3; R/E column, year starting with March 31, 2011).

2. You must name the accounts debited/credited and show the net change in each reserve.
