118. Two of the highest-profile cases (Enron and WorldCom) of fraudulent financial reporting in 2001 and 2002, as well as other fraudulent reporting
by many others, led Congress to pass the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Fraudulent financial reporting was associated with poor social consequences such as
bankruptcy, employee termination, reduced salaries, increased workloads, and loss of employee retirement funds, stock options, and health benefits.
The major provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act include formation of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), corporate
executive accountability, limitation on nonaudit services, retention of work papers, auditor rotation, restrictions related to conflicts of interest, audit
committee hires the auditor, and documentation of internal control.
119. Internal control is a company's plan to (1) improve the accuracy and reliability of accounting information and (2) safeguard the company's
assets.
1. Control Environment - overall top-to-bottom attitude of the company with respect to internal controls.
2. Risk Assessment - development of formal policies to assess the risk that internal or external sources are preventing a company from achieving its
objectives.
3. Control Activities - systems for approving cash payments, authorizing purchases, reviewing operating performance, and safeguarding assets.
4. Monitoring - Continuous observation of the internal control system.
5. Information and Communication - systems designed to ensure accurate measurement of business transactions and reliability of financial reports.
120. Cash should be recorded and deposited daily. The employee recording cash receipts should not also be the employee making the deposit. The
bank reconciliation should be prepared monthly by a person with no other cash responsibilities.
121. For the bank's cash balance, deposits outstanding should be added and checks outstanding should be subtracted. For the company's cash
balance, notes collected by the bank and interest earned should be added; service fees and NSF checks should be subtracted. As a final step in the
reconciliation process, the company must record cash items used to reconcile the company's cash balance.
122. The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to summarize the transactions that caused cash to change during the reporting period. The
statement of cash flows summarizes cash flows in three categories: operating, investing, and financing. Operating activities include cash flows related
to transactions entering into the determination of net income, such as cash collections from customers, payments for operating expenses, and other
receipts such as interest and dividends. Investing activities include purchasing and selling long-term assets or certain investment securities. Financing
activities include borrowing or repaying loans, issuing stock, and payment of dividends.
123. The balance sheet reports the final balance of cash at the end of the reporting period. The statement of cash flows reports inflows and outflows
of cash during the reporting period. The beginning balance of cash plus net cash flows reported in the statement of cash flows equals the ending
balance of cash reported in the balance sheet. Operating activities include cash transactions involving revenue and expense events during the period.
Investing activities include cash investments in long-term assets and investment securities. Financing activities include transactions designed to raise
cash or finance the business.

balance, notes collected by the bank and interest earned should be added; service fees and NSF checks should be subtracted. As a final step in the
reconciliation process, the company must record cash items used to reconcile the company's cash balance.
300. The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to summarize the transactions that caused cash to change during the reporting period. The
statement of cash flows summarizes cash flows in three categories: operating, investing, and financing. Operating activities include cash flows related
to transactions entering into the determination of net income, such as cash collections from customers, payments for operating expenses, and other
receipts such as interest and dividends. Investing activities include purchasing and selling long-term assets or certain investment securities. Financing
activities include borrowing or repaying loans, issuing stock, and payment of dividends.
301. The balance sheet reports the final balance of cash at the end of the reporting period. The statement of cash flows reports inflows and outflows
of cash during the reporting period. The beginning balance of cash plus net cash flows reported in the statement of cash flows equals the ending
balance of cash reported in the balance sheet. Operating activities include cash transactions involving revenue and expense events during the period.
Investing activities include cash investments in long-term assets and investment securities. Financing activities include transactions designed to raise
cash or finance the business.
