...eading Report – Business to Business Transactions This report deals with business to business transaction models and various types systems that businesses implement to achieve efficiencies. It details how the increases in technology has made certain possibilities of business to business interactions that were impossible before, whether it was due to the lack of efficiency or lack of tools needed for such interactions to be possible.

It has gone as far as some business models incorporating business to business transactions in to their supply chain theories. This makes sense because the business to business transaction systems are quickly...

...Financial Accounting For Dummies From Financial Accounting For Dummies by Maire Loughran Financial accounting is the process of preparing financial statements for a business. The three key financial statements are the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows, and they serve two broad purposes: to report on the current financial position of the company, and to show how well the company performs over a period of time. Investors, creditors, and other interested parties rely on such information to find out whether a business is making or losing money, and they depend on financial accountants to help ensure that these statements are materially correct and understandable. Accounting Details in Different Kinds of Financial Statements The three key financial statements are the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows. All three record the same daily accounting transactions occurring in a business, but each presents the facts slightly differently. • Income statement: The income statement shows a company’s results of operations. Using this statement, you can see if a business has income or loss during the financial period. All the company’s revenue, expenses, gains, and losses appear on this financial statement. • Balance sheet: The balance sheet shows the health of a business from the day it started operations to the specific date of the balance sheet report.Therefore, it reflects the business’s financial position.

Different methodology can be used to arrive at his opinion: Vouching audit: Vouching means "such examination of the ledger entries as will satisfy an auditor not only that the entry is supported by documentary evidence but that it has been properly made upon the books of account". b.

...Assignment 2 AU2 Advanced External Auditing Question 2 a) Three specific business strategies that explain eBay’s decision to offer good for sale at fixed prices: 1. Expand into New Markets: With the shrinking market of auction bidders on eBay and a growing market of fixed price buyers, customers may not prefer to go in the direction of purchasing goods in an online auction. Since, in an online auction the customer has to wait till the end of the auction to see which buyer with the highest bid wins that item. Whereas, in a fixed price type of format, there are no bids placed and the price remains constant. Customers may prefer the idea of price stability over waiting to see if they get the item as they may be time-sensitive and want the item right way. Therefore, eBay may want to focus and expand its market to customers who do not prefer online auctions. 2. Fixed price “Buy-It-Now” format is beginning to dominate eBay and is a key to future growth. Fixed price items make up of 42% of the gross merchandise sold on eBay. Over the past six years, this fixed price format has been growing at a faster rate than auctions. (Trouble at eBay) 3. Meet consumer expectations in the marketplace by matching its competitors who also offer products at fixed prices online through their websites. Customers who are not interested in purchasing goods in online auctions will then purchase goods from eBay at fixed prices. Since eBay acts as the ‘middle man’ the concept...
