...tasked with utilizing the proper contract vehicle to procure services, materials, supplies, constructions projects, and countless other items. Contract vehicles are not one size fit all and depending on the circumstance the acquisition personnel will reach into their tool box and choose the correct vehicle to administer the contract. There is a wide selection of contract types available to provide needed flexibility in acquiring the large variety and volume of supplies required by the DoD. The various contract types vary according to the degree and timing of the responsibility assumed by the contractor for the costs of performance, and the amount and nature of the incentive offered to the contractor for achieving or exceeding specified standards or goals. Contract types are grouped into two broad categories; Fixed-price contracts and Cost-reimbursement contracts. The specific contract types range from firm-fixed price, in which the contractor has full responsibility for the performance costs and resulting profit (or loss), to cost-plus-fixed-fee, in which the contractor has minimal responsibility for the performance costs and the negotiated fee (profit) is fixed. This paper will discuss another type of contract; Time and Material (T&M) contracts are not the most desirable they serve a purpose and are used in many organizations throughout the Department of Defense.

...Changes to Accounting Standards for Leases Who is likely to be affected? Businesses which are lessees or lessors of assets and account for lease transactions using a leasing accounting standard which changes on or after 1 January 2011. General description of the measure Current accounting standards are International Accounting Standards (IAS) and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP). Changes to the IAS lease accounting standard are expected during 2011, and changes to UK GAAP might follow in 2013. Legislation will be introduced in Finance Bill 2011 to ensure continuity of tax treatment for lease transactions for businesses which begin to account for the transactions under new accounting standards, expected to be introduced from 2011. The measure will require tax profits and losses to continue to be calculated as if the changes to lease accounting standards had not taken place. Policy objective The measure will ensure that existing tax rules that rely on accounting classifications of leases as operating or finance leases, and the accounting treatment of lease transactions, continue to operate in the way they currently do. The objectives are to: • • ensure that lessors and lessees will be neither disadvantaged nor advantaged by the proposed accounting changes; remove uncertainty for businesses about the future tax treatment of leasing contracts, arising from uncertainty about future lease accounting standards and their interaction with current tax rules;...

...Case 13-02 Buck’s Dilemma: Gross or Net? Background Buck’s Hunting and Equipment Inc. (Buck) has determined that it’s time to expand their retail operations. Buck is planning to build several retail stores over the next three years. In order execute their plan, Buck entered into a $100 million, three-year revolving line of credit (the Facility) with their bank on January 1, 2010. Buck and his auditor and management would like to know how to book presentation of cash flows through the use of a revolving line of credit is whether to report the amounts borrowed and repaid on a net basis or on a gross basis. FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification 230-10-45-7 states “information about the gross amounts of cash receipts and cash payments during a period is more relevant than information about the net amounts of cash receipts and payments.” (FASB, ASC 230-10-45-7). However it is often enough to report the net amount of these cash receipts and payments. ASC 230-10-45-8 states that net presentation if appropriate when there is a quick turnover with large amounts and short maturities. Solution 1 — Classification with the Statement of Cash Flows Buck should present the borrowing and payment activity as a cash flow from financing activities. ASC 230-10-45-14 states that “proceeds from issuing bonds, mortgages, notes, and from other short- or long-term borrowing” are a cash inflow from financing activities. Similarly, ASC 230-10-45-15 states that “repayments of amounts...

...Transparency 7 What Regulation Typically Covers 7 Regulatory Agencies 8 Accounting Reform 10 Conclusion 13 References 15 Abstract Within the accounting profession there are many complex ethical issues that must be dealt with quite often. It is important that the people working within the industry provide high quality financial statements and always pay close attention to ethical concerns that may arise. Since ethics is such a major concern in the accounting industry, a rules based system is in place for enforcing ethical concerns. There are many regulating bodies that exist that enforce many highly detailed regulations that people within the industry must follow at all times. Throughout history there have been several major accounting scandals that have been followed by new regulation to ensure that these problems do not come up again. CLERP 9 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are just a couple of acts that have caused significant changes to the accounting world in recent times. This paper will look at some of the different issues that accountants face as well as some of the regulations that seek to end unethical behavior. Ethical Standards in Accounting Introduction The accounting industry is an always changing and constantly growing industry. Accounting plays a vital role in society and business and up until recently accounting was considered to have some of the highest standards for ethical and moral conduct in business.

Accounting, auditing, or tax research involve a systematic and logical investigation of an issue or problem using the accountant’s professional judgment. Furthermore, accountants approach this problem using critical-thinking skills to obtain and document evidence underlying a conclusion relating to an issue or problem currently confronting the accountant or auditor. 3. Accounting, auditing, or tax research are necessary in order to determine the proper recording, classification, and disclosure of economic events; to determine compliance with authoritative pronouncements; or to determine the preferability of alternative accounting procedures. 4.

Research plays an important role within an accounting firm or department. It is critical for the accountant/auditor to be able to find and locate applicable authoritative pronouncements and to ascertain their current status.

Abacus UK VERSUS RULES-BASED ACCOUNTING ABA Accounting Foundation, Unviersity of Sydney Oxford, Blackwell GEORGE J. BENSTON, MICHAEL BROMWICH AND ALFRED WAGENHOFER Principles- Versus Rules-Based Accounting Standards: The FASB’s Standard Setting Strategy In response to criticism of rules-based accounting standards and Section 108(d) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC proposed principlesbased (or ‘objectives-oriented’) standards. We identify several shortcomings with this approach and focus on two of them. First, the format (type) of a standard is dependent on the contents of what the standard regulates. Given the asset/liability approach combined with fair values, we argue that the combination of this measurement concept with principlesbased standards is inconsistent because it requires significant guidance for management judgment. Second, we propose the inclusion of a trueand-fair override as a necessary requirement for any format that is more than ‘principles-only’ to deal with inconsistencies between principles and guidance. We discuss the benefits of this override and present evidence from the United Kingdom’s experience. Key words: Accounting standards; FASB; Principles; Rules; Rules-based. According to a widely-held view, U.S. accounting standards are more rules-based than principles-based.1 This observation stems in large part from the emphasis put on two aspects of...

...Reference……………………………………...……………………………9-10 Coursework Part 1: Harmonization of international accounting standards Every organization has their own accounting systems and standards. If every organization is preparing its financial reports in their own way, it is difficult for the users of accounting to use the financial reports. (Kirk, & Miller, 1986) Harmonization of international accounting standards as the trend for globalization in business becomes increasingly important for economic success, many issues arise through international business practices for corporations, governments, and investors. There are many potential advantages and disadvantages/challenges associated with harmonization of accounting standards. (John, 2013) Advantages 1) Reduced Reporting Costs Multinationals operating in countries with different accounting standards would incur high costs of preparing financial reports in accordance with each country’s accounting principles, then repeating the whole process for consolidation purposes. Harmonized accounting standards benefits multinational corporations because they can prepare one report rather than one for each country in which they operate. In addition, it enables a systematic review and evaluation of the performance of foreign subsidiaries and associates. (Mark, 2013) 2) Improving Comparability To achieve the comparability against domestic and international peers, harmonization of accounting standards is advocated. Harmonization strives...

...1.Background introduction International accounting standards advance with the times. Here, changes in accounting standards again: The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) first issued IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in November 2009, which dealt with the classification of financial assets and aspects of their measurement (Anna-Maija Lantto, Petri Sahlstrom, 2009). Consequently, the AASB first issued AASB 9 Financial Instruments in December 2009. After that, the IASB re-issued IFRS 9 in October 2010, setting out requirements for the classification, and aspects of measurement, recognition and derecognition of both financial assets and financial liabilities. Most of the requirements for financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged from IAS 39. However, some changes were made to the fair value option for financial liabilities to address the issue of own credit risk. The AASB re-issued AASB 9 Financial Instruments, which incorporates IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, in December 2010.本文由优质文化有限责任公司整理提供。阅读更多原创的文章，请点击www.youzhiwenhua.com专业的毕业论文代写论文代写代写论文留学生论文代写代写留学生论文代写法语论文代写日语论文代写韩语论文文化网站QQ527510459 TEL15982106398 The requirements in AASB 9 (as issued in December 2010) arise from the completion of the first phase of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, which is incorporated in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (Houston, R.W.
