...A Comprehensive Self Analysis of Leadership Style Stephen R. Covey once said “We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us.” A manager should assess themselves regularly, just as they do with their employees. My name is Jane Doe, and I currently manage a team of highly intelligent computer programmers at a rural telecommunications company. I assess myself and my team in the interest of providing the best service to my company and team. One assessment I used recently was the “Seven Habit’s Profile.” This profile measures the following areas: Emotional Bank Account, Life Balance, Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win-Win, Seek First to Understand, Synergize and Sharpen the Saw. The scoring landed me squarely in the “very good” range, but a couple areas that stood out to me were Seek First to Understand and Think Win-Win. These are areas that are indicative of my leadership style. The style I most closely represent is Transformational Leadership. The ability to understand others, supports the transformational leadership style by making a leader aware of others’ needs, something which is needed when inspiring change. “Thinking win-win”, also supports this style by finding areas where both parties benefit; making change easier and more productive. Taking the Seven Habits Profile highlighted some of my strengths and weaknesses in relation to the Transformational Leadership...

...Transaction Services • • TS Insights List bullet List bullet Sub bullet evaluation of the other two sources of taxable income ― Vol. 3 Heading 2 Financial reporting in an uncertain economy A closer look at income tax valuation allowances October 2009 Additional text goes here. Heading 3 Additional text goes here. Notwithstanding early signs that the global recession may be waning, the uncertain economic future continues to constrict corporate America. As companies continue to incur losses, focus has heightened on income tax valuation allowance assessments by companies and their auditors, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission staff, through the issuance of comment letters. Specifically, much of this focus is on whether deferred tax assets reflected on corporate balance sheets will ultimately be realized. When a deferred tax asset is not fully realizable, a valuation allowance must be established against the deferred tax asset to reduce it to a net amount that is realizable. The related expense is generally reflected in the income statement as an income tax expense. A clear understanding of the judgmental nature of valuation allowance accounting models is critical in addressing this issue. The need for judgment The accounting requirements for deferred tax assets are set out in ASC 740, "Income Taxes," which establishes a "more likely than not" threshold for recognizing deferred tax assets. The interpretation of this criteria has historically...

...6.1. What effect will an asset revaluation have on subsequent period’s profit? Explain your answer. If an asset’s carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase shall be recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of revaluation surplus. However, the increase shall be recognized in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized in profit or loss. If an asset’s carrying amount is decreased as a result of a revaluation, the decrease shall be recognized in profit or loss. However, the decrease shall be recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation surplus in respect of that asset. The decrease recognized in other comprehensive income reduces the amount accumulated in equity under the heading of revaluation surplus. 6.4. For the purpose of AASB 116 or AASB 136, how is ‘recoverable amount’ determined? Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell (sometimes called net selling price) and its value in use where: fair value is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, and value in use is the discounted present value of the future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset, and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.

...EFFECTS OF TAKING QUALIFYING EXAMINATION TO THIRD YEAR ACCOUNTANCY STUDENTS CHAPTER 1 The Problem and Its Background Introduction Examination is one of the best ways to prove whether a student, or anyone who undergoes learning, learned something from what they have studied. Exam results can show in which lesson the students were not able to fully understand and what they were able to. But does this result help the student improve in their studies, and how those this results affect them, especially if the result will determine whether they stay on their chosen fields? Qualifying Examination is given to B.S Accountancy students in order to test whether they are qualified to continue the program and to improve their academic performance. It is in fact a policy set by the school to all programs that have board examinstions. Another reason why this examination is given to students is for them to be prepared for the licensure examination they are to take after graduating in college. Through this, the students will be able to review their past subject. Students will have a preview of what the board examination would be like after graduating, the stress they might encounter and the pressure of all the subjects that they will have to review. As a school policy, Qualifying Examination is given to students who will be able to pass all the Fundamentals of Accounting and all the Financial Accounting subjects of the accounting course. The exam is divided in two parts, the first part...

...enterprise to display the items of other comprehensive income identified in this Statement with less prominence and to characterize them differently from other items of comprehensive income that are currently included in net income. Messrs. Cope and Foster believe that a primary objective in undertaking a project on reporting comprehensive income was to significantly enhance the visibility of items of other comprehensive income. They also believe that the Board inappropriately failed to respond to the clear and unequivocal call from users of financial statements for the transparent presentation of all items of comprehensive income, whose request is acknowledged in paragraphs 40 and 41 of this Statement. They also note that, as evidenced by the basis for conclusions in the Exposure Draft, the Board held views similar to theirs when it issued that document. I agree with Messrs. Cope and Foster’s concerns. My reason is as following: if the companies choose to report the items of other comprehensive income in the Statement of Changes in Equity, the visibility of these items will be decreased because there are many other important item in this statement, and the users may not focus on the important items of other comprehensive income, and at the same time, net income is reported in the Income Statement, which will make the financial statement users focus more on net income and earnings per share but not the items of other comprehensive income. b. I believe that potential adoption...

...decreases in other comprehensive income as they arise. Accounting for plan terminations and curtailments and other circumstances in which recognition of gains and losses as a component of net periodic pension cost might not be delayed is addressed in the Settlements, Curtailments, and Terminations Subsection of this Section. (b) Explain the rationale behind the accounting method described in part (a). According to FASB ASC 715-30-35 35-22 Gains and Losses Asset gains and losses are differences between the actual return on plan assets during a period and the expected return on plan assets for that period. Asset gains and losses include both changes reflected in the market-related value of plan assets and changes not yet reflected in the market-related value (that is, the difference between the fair value of assets and the market-related value). Gains or losses on transferable securities issued by the employer and included in plan assets are also included in asset gains and losses. Asset gains and losses not yet reflected in market-related value are not required to be amortized under paragraphs 715-30-35-24 through 35-25. 35-23 Gains and Losses In other words, the expected return on plan assets generally will be different from the actual return on plan assets for the year. This Subtopic provides for recognition of that difference (a net gain or loss) in other comprehensive income in the period it arises. The amount recognized in other comprehensive income is also...

...Media Summary The media sources I used this week are the same media sources I used in the previous weeks of this course. The media sources I used for this week’s topics included the textbook, the online videos provided, and my wife. I used the text book for most of the assignments this week. I felt like the text book for week 2 and week 3 did a good job of explaining the meanings of the topics presented and did not require additional readings. Chapter thirteen introduced the concept of sustainable income, or “the most likely level of income to be obtained in the future.”(Kimmel, Weygandt, Kieso, 2011). Chapter thirteen also explains how irregular items are presented, comprehensive income, the horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, how to compute ratios, and the concept of quality of earnings. Another valuable media source was the online videos. The video “Balancing the Books: Understanding Financial Reporting” discusses accounting tools, how the balance sheet works, profit and loss, and other topics. Like the previous videos, this video directly relates to and supports the topics in the text. Also, like the videos in previous weeks, the video is a nice change of pace from reading long text. I actually liked the videos used in week two more than the video used in this week’s lesson. The “Jeopardy” style video was a little boring and the way the contestant flashed back to his experiences made it a little drawn out for my taste, however I understand the attempt to make the...

...Assignment Task The four largest Australian Banks have faced considerable pressure from the community and the government in recent times. This pressure has arisen due to their interest rate increases in association with their high reported earnings. As accountants, we are responsible for preparing financial statements and “calculating” the profit figures. In your opinion, do you think the big banks are managing their reported earnings to show lesser profits than what they are actually earning (i.e. using earnings management techniques)? You are required, and must, read and incorporate academic journal articles and other relevant materials to justify your viewpoint. INTRODUCTION Accounting can be broadly defined as the ‘measurement and communication’ of economic information to the decision makers (Watts and Zimmerman 1986). Accounting is divided into internal and external accounting on the basis of the users of the information (Spohr 2005). Spohr (2005) further highlights that the responsibility for preparing the external accounting information and publishing it lies with the managers of the firm. These managers rely on their inside knowledge of the firm’s current state to provide an accurate and fair picture of the financial state of the firm. The existence of accounting regulations and guidelines aims to improve the relevance and accuracy of the financial reports. However, this insider knowledge gained by managers can lead to information asymmetry. This occurs when...

Thomas Foods sells produce purchased from farmers to neighborhood grocery stores throughout the country. Thomas Foods has asked you to implement a hedging strategy to mitigate the risks associated with any unexpected increase in price they would have to pay farmers for their harvested crops. Thomas Foods asks that you provide examples of how various hedging strategies could be implemented. The Controller of the company has no experience in this area and would need to understand the accounting treatment for whichever hedging strategy you select. Of significant importance to management is how any hedging strategy would impact operating income. =================================================================================== Case 2 You have been hired as a consultant for XYZ Research Co.

...buying preferred and common stock. Several other events also affect paid-in capital. Retained earnings represents earned capital. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income • LO18–2 Comprehensive income includes net income as well as other gains, losses, and other adjustments that change shareholders' equity but are not included in traditional net income. Comprehensive income extends our view of income beyond net income reported in an income statement to include four types of gains and losses not included in income statements: 1. Net holding gains (losses) on investments. 2. Gains (losses) from and amendments to postretirement benefit plans. 3. Deferred gains (losses) on derivatives. 4. Adjustments from foreign currency translation. OCI shares another trait with net income. Just as net income is reported periodically in the income statement and also on a cumulative basis as part of retained earnings, OCI too, is reported periodically in the statement of comprehensive income and also as accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in the balance sheet along with retained earnings. In other words, we report two attributes of OCI: (1) components of comprehensive income created during the reporting period and (2) the comprehensive income accumulated over the current and prior periods. OCI is reported in the statement of comprehensive...
