    Adjusting Entries

    ABSTRACT: Recent accounting scandals have emphasized the need to think beyond debits and credits. Accounting students must understand the effects of transactions on a company’s financial position, as well as the pressures and incentives they will someday face to misrepresent that position. This case introduces students in intermediate financial accounting courses to both of these important objectives. First, the case improves students’ critical thinking skills in accounting by allowing them to determine if various correcting entries should be made, and what the effects of those transactions will be on the company’s financial statements. Second, the case improves students’ ability to evaluate ethical consequences by introducing them to conflicting incentives regarding those corrections: the obligation to provide investors with high-quality financial statements that fairly present the company’s financial position versus the pressure to maintain a high stock price for investors. The case may be completed using either U.S. GAAP or IFRS. Keywords: adjusting entries; financial statement adjustments; accounting cycle; ratio analysis; IFRS.…

    The Core Competency Framework defines a set of skills-based competencies needed by all students entering the accounting profession, regardless of the career path they choose. The Framework is an online resource (www.aicpa-eca.org) that educators can utilize to develop or reform curricula to support the development of a set of competencies aimed at helping students acquire the knowledge and develop the talents that will lead them to personal success in the accounting profession. The Framework focuses on skills and is not structured around traditional subject/content areas or accounting services. A skills-based curriculum versus a knowledge-based curriculum is advocated because the body of knowledge and the accounting profession are changing so rapidly. Although knowledge requirements will change with time, the core set of competencies identified by the Framework will have long-term value and will support a variety of career opportunities for the future CPA. The competencies are arranged under the following three categories: Functional Competencies, technical competencies most closely aligned with the value contributed by accounting professionals; Personal Competencies, individual attributes and values; and Broad…
