Kali flower, manufactures spinning machines for the textile
industry. The company had purchased USD 100,000 of small hand tools
to use in its business. The company's accountant recorded the tools
as an asset account and the company was going to write them off in
20 years. Management wanted to write these tools off as an expense
of this year in their financial statement, because revenues of this
year is abnormally high and expected to be lower in the future. The
management is thinking to expand their business. As per the
revenues the business units can be expanded to other cities. The
company expect to increase the production to high level by starting
more units.
Management is continuously pressurizing the accountant not to
include some of the transactions in the financial statement to
bring a positive image on stakeholders. Many investors are keen to
invest in shares of the Kali flower manufacturers. The company is
expecting an annual audit from the international audit firm. This
situation may put them in critical
circumstances.
