Assets are the resources of a business organization that were acquired in a market transaction and that will provide future economic benefits to the organization. It is important to understand the distinction between assets that are recorded and those that are not. The definition of assets above reflects two criteria: they (1) were acquired in a market transaction, and (2) will provide future economic benefits to the corporation. Accountants typically rely heavily on a clearly defined market transaction as the basis for recording assets. The market price reflected in a transaction between two independent parties provides objective evidence of the cost of assets acquired or the market value of assets sold. It is useful for accountants to rely on objective evidence of economic value other than a long-ago actual market transaction. In the past, accountants have chosen to rely on actual market transactions. This reliance tended to bring about uniformity in how assets are recorded, but resulted in less useful information in those situations where a purchase cost may bear little relation to the economic value of the asset acquired. For example, the costs of drilling an oil well are not related to the value of the well as measured by the amount of oil in it. Recording the costs of drilling the well is less useful than recording the economic value of the oil. Similarly, the cost of Manhattan may have been $24, but its current economic value far exceeds $24.…

1. A key distinction of a company going public over a private company is that the public company must abide by the rules of the Security Exchange Commission. One of the tasks a new public company will undertake is providing the financial details of the entity which will be readily available to the public – thus known as financial reporting. The Committee on Sponsoring Organizations framework is widely regarded as an appropriate and comprehensive basis to document the assessment of internal controls over financial reporting. It is important that LJB Company reviews and implement these standards.…
My current networking strategies are different in comparison to my past networking strategies. Over the years I have realized how important networking is and that it is something that you must tend to over time in order to reap benefits from it in the future. After all, the United States Bureau of Labor of Statistics stated that 70% of jobs are obtained through networking (Caullay). In the past I used to only have friends, family members, and fellow church members included in my close network. Now, I have expanded my network to also consist of my past and current classmates. I think it would also be a great idea to include special interest groups in your network because the people you associate with in the groups can see your professional and general professionalism. Another networking strategy that has changed with me is that I no longer expect immediate results. As I stated before, a network is something that you must obtain over time and receive benefits from in the future. I think it would also be a great idea to broadcast your job search. I used to only send in a cover letter with a resume to companies that I was interested in being employed by. Now, I send a detailed cover letter with a resume to everyone in my network. I do so because most jobs are obtained through word of mouth, and having a broad network will really help that word travel to the right people.…

In a conference room at the offices of Strauss-Elite in Ramiat Gan, we were introduced to the heart of the organisation by the CEO of the company, Erez Vigoodman. What we were given was a bird's eye view of the entire company as it stood at the end of 2005. It quickly became apparent that the organisation stood poised at a pivotal moment in its long history. In the eight years since the acquisition of Elite in 1997, the company has gone through nothing short of a revolution. Yet despite being transformed from end to end, Strauss-Elite still remains a family-run company with an acute sense of its past and a clear sense of its future, Now, after a long and challenging process of change that has lasted many years, Strauss-Elite looks ready to once again make another bold leap forward.…
