INVESTOR INSIGHT
Why Accuracy Matters
While most companies record transactions very carefully, the reality is that mistakes still happen. For example, bank regulators fi ned Bank One Corporation (now JPMorgan Chase) $1.8 million because they felt that the unreliability of the bank’s accounting system caused it to violate regulatory requirements. Also, in recent years Fannie Mae, the government chartered mortgage association, announced a series of large accounting errors. These announcements caused alarm among investors, regulators, and politicians because they feared that the errors might suggest larger, undetected problems. This was important because the home-mortgage market depends on Fannie Mae to buy hundreds of billions of dollars of mortgages each year from banks, thus enabling the banks to issue new mortgages. Finally, before a major overhaul of its accounting system, the financial records of Waste Management Company were in such disarray that of the company’s 57,000 employees, 10,000 were receiving pay slips that were in error. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was created to minimize the occurrence of errors like these by increasing every employee’s responsibility for accurate financial reporting.

ACCOUNTING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION
Boosting Profits
Microsoft originally designed the Xbox 360 to have 256 megabytes of memory. But the design department said that amount of memory wouldn’t support the best special effects. The purchasing department said that adding more memory would cost $30—which was 10% of the estimated selling price of $300. The marketing department, however, “determined that adding the memory would let Microsoft reduce marketing costs and attract more game developers, boosting royalty revenue. It would also extend the life of the console, generating more sales.” As a result of these changes, Xbox enjoyed great success. But, it does have competitors. Its newest video game console, Xbox One, is now in a battle with Sony’s Playstation4 for market share. How to compete? First, Microsoft bundled the critically acclaimed Titan fall with its Xbox One. By including the game most Xbox One buyers were going to purchase anyway, Microsoft was making its console more attractive. In addition, retailers are also discounting the Xbox, which should get the momentum going for increased sales. What Microsoft is doing is making sure that Xbox One is the center of the home entertainment system in the long run.

ETHICS INSIGHT
A Convenient Overstatement
Sometimes a company’s investment securities suffer a permanent decline in value below their original cost. When this occurs, the company is supposed to reduce the recorded value of the securities on its balance sheet (“write them down” in common financial lingo) and record a loss. It appears, however, that during the financial crisis of 2008, employees at some financial institutions chose to look the other way as the value of their investments skidded. A number of Wall Street traders that worked for the investment bank Credit Suisse Group were charged with intentionally overstating the value of securities that had suffered declines of approximately $2.85 billion. One reason that they may have been reluctant to record the losses is out of fear that the company’s shareholders and clients would panic if they saw the magnitude of the losses. However, personal self-interest might have been equally to blame—the bonuses of the traders were tied to the value of the investment securities.

KEY POINTS
A Look at IFRS
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Compare the procedures for the recording process under GAAP and IFRS.
6
Similarities
Transaction analysis is the same under IFRS and GAAP.
Both the IASB and the FASB go beyond the basic definitions provided in the textbook for the key elements of financial statements, that is assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses. The implications of the expanded definitions are discussed in more advanced accounting courses.
LO 6
3-75
A Look at IFRS
KEY POINTS
Similarities
As shown in the textbook, dollar signs are typically used only in the trial balance and the financial statements. The same practice is followed under IFRS, using the currency of the country where the reporting company is headquartered.
A trial balance under IFRS follows the same format as shown in the textbook.
LO 6
3-76
A Look at IFRS
KEY POINTS
Differences
IFRS relies less on historical cost and more on fair value than do FASB standards.
Internal controls are a system of checks and balances designed to prevent and detect fraud and errors. While most public U.S. companies have these systems in place, many non-U.S. companies have never completely documented the controls nor had an independent auditor attest to their effectiveness.
LO 6
3-77
A Look at IFRS
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
The basic recording process shown in this textbook is followed by companies around the globe. It is unlikely to change in the future. The definitional structure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses may change over time as the IASB and FASB evaluate their overall conceptual framework for establishing accounting standards.
LO 6
3-78
IFRS Practice
Which statement is correct regarding IFRS?
a) IFRS reverses the rules of debits and credits, that is, debits
are on the right and credits are on the left.
b) IFRS uses the same process for recording transactions as
GAAP.
c) The chart of accounts under IFRS is different because
revenues follow assets.
d) None of the above statements are correct.
A Look at IFRS
LO 6
3-79
IFRS Practice
A trial balance:
a) is the same under IFRS and GAAP.
b) proves that transactions are recorded correctly.
c) proves that all transactions have been recorded.
d) will not balance if a correct journal entry is posted twice.
A Look at IFRS
LO 6
3-80
IFRS Practice
One difference between IFRS and GAAP is that:
a) GAAP uses accrual-accounting concepts and IFRS uses
primarily the cash basis of accounting.
b) IFRS uses a different posting process than GAAP.
c) IFRS uses more fair value measurements than GAAP.
d) the limitations of a trial balance are different between IFRS
and GAAP.
