...The King of Pop: Coca-Cola Linn B. Jordan Strayer University Professor Wendy W. Achilles ACC 499 April 14, 2013 The King of Pop: Coca-Cola Coca-Cola is worldwide known as one of the most famous non-alcoholic beverages. Coca-Cola products have been almost everyone’s favorite for the past 125 years. As going into its 126th year in business, the company is growing bigger and stronger than ever before with a seemingly effortless grip on the market with its recent announcement in earning more profits while its competitors were losing profit. Following is a closer look at the company’s financial information being analyzed to further confirm its standing among other players. In Mike Esterl’s article on the Wall Street Journal, he indicates that Coca-Cola is the number one soft-drink brand in the United States – a huge market in the North American market. Numbers in Esterl’s article shows that Coca-Cola has a 42 percent of the market which translates to how well Coca-Cola is doing in the United States alone. According to Coca-Cola, the North American market has the net operating revenues (in millions) of $8,191 in 2010, $11,140 in 2011, and $20,559 in 2012 and profit incomes, also in millions, of $1,699, $1,520, and $2,318. These numbers show that the North American market is doing relatively well based on these increasing figures over the three-year period although there is a slight setback in operating income in 2012.

...Assignment: Audit Report Review By Eleanor P. Luu Professor Joetta Malone Course Title ACC 410006VA016-1126-0010 July 27, 2012 In my review, I found the financial statements for the City of Galax. They are located near Roanoke, Virginia and they have three separate financial statements that are provided for their three different funds, not counting their General Fund. They have their Governmental Fund, their Proprietary Fund and their Fiduciary Fund. The amazing thing in reviewing their financial statements is that they follow the guidelines that have been established by GAASB. The GASB “was formed in 1984 to give public sector entities guidance for recording their financial transactions. For smaller towns or cities, the basic guidance is that they use cash basis accounting for their activities. For larger towns or cities, the basic guidance is that they must use accrual accounting as their method. The City of Galax uses both and actually even a combination of the two. The government-wide financials and the proprietary funds financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied....

...Compilation of Financial Statements 2011 AR Section 80 Compilation of Financial Statements Issue date, unless otherwise indicated: December 2009 See section 9080 for interpretations of this section. Source: SSARS No. 19 .01 This section establishes standards and provides guidance on compilations of financial statements. The accountant is required to comply with the provisions of this section whenever he or she is engaged to report on compiled financial statements or submits financial statements to a client or to third parties. Establishing an Understanding .02 The accountant should establish an understanding with management regarding the services to be performed for compilation engagements1 and should document the understanding through a written communication with management. Such an understanding reduces the risks that either the accountant or management may misinterpret the needs or expectations of the other party. For example, it reduces the risk that management may inappropriately rely on the accountant to protect the entity against certain risks or to perform certain functions that are management's responsibility. The accountant should ensure that the understanding includes the objectives of the engagement, management's responsibilities, the accountant's responsibilities, and the limitations of the engagement. In some cases, the accountant may establish such understanding with those charged with governance. .03 An understanding with management and...

This International Standard on Auditing (ISA) deals with the auditor’s responsibility to form an opinion on the financial statements. It also deals with the form and content of the auditor’s report issued as a result of an audit of financial statements. 2. ISA 7051 and ISA 7062 deal with how the form and content of the auditor’s report are affected when the auditor expresses a modified opinion or includes an Emphasis of Matter paragraph or an Other Matter paragraph in the auditor’s report. 3.

...Gaviola, Harold Dave B. BSA-V Assignment in COMED421/0180/8:30-9:30PM PSA 401: Auditing in a Computer Information Systems Environment - The increasing availability of computer-based accounting systems that is capable of meeting both functional and economic circumstances of even the smallest entity impacts on the audits of those entities. Small entities’ accounting systems often make use of personal computers. Philippine Auditing Practice Statement 1001, “CIS Environments—Stand-Alone Personal Computers” gives additional guidance regarding the special considerations of such an environment. - Small entities are likely to use less sophisticated hardware and software packages than large entities (often “packaged” rather than developed “in house”). Nevertheless, the auditor has sufficient knowledge of the computer information system to plan, direct, supervise, and review the work performed. The auditor may consider whether specialized skills are needed in an audit. - Because of the limited segregation of duties, the use of computer facilities by a small entity may have the effect of increasing control risk. For example, it is common for users to be able to perform two or more of the following functions in the accounting system. • Initiating and authorizing source documents. • Entering data into the system. • Operating the computer. • Changing programs and data files. • Using or distributing output. • Modifying the operating systems. - The use of computer information...
