Gary James works for Hills & beans, a professional services firm. James was a onetime business partner of former Florida State Senator Howard Clark and a donor to his campaign. Clark was recently charged with conspiring to defraud the IRS out of hundreds of thousands of dollars during the time James prepared tax returns for Clark’s business. The allegation is that Clark misclassified $2,268,520 as business expense, when the money went to his children’s tuition, a trip to Turks and Caicos Islands, home remodeling, and more. The amount of taxes Clark’s business owed for these deductions was $850,748, but only $56,766 was paid. The IRS is preparing charges against James for his role in the matter.

a. Discuss the ethics violations that may have been committed by James with respect of the AICPA Code discussed in chapter 4.

b. Assume you are the director of auditing for Hills & Beans and Clark approaches you requesting that your firm audit the financial statements of his business and prepare a report that would be submitted along with a loan of $1 million for his business.How might the facts of this case influence whether you agree to provide the audit service?

REVENUE RECOGNITION
If you sign up for and receive a new phone that would normally retail for $500 (cost to manufacture $380). We commit to a three year contract where we will have to pay back an amount that starts at $600 (to pay for the phone) but drops each month until it reaches zero at the end of 3 years (kind of like financing for the phone). We pay an activation fee of $35 along with the first month of service that will be $70 each month for the next 36 months. After one year of service, we will be eligible for $100 off the latest phone if we trade in the one year old phone for a new one. That rises to $200 after two years.

Show all journal entries needed to show revenue recognition.

Goodfellow & Perkins gained a new client, Brookwood Pines Hospital (BPH), a private, not-for-profit hospital. The fiscal year-end for Brookwood Pines is June 30. You are performing the audit for the 2023 fiscal year end, and the audit is currently in the risk assessment phase. The healthcare industry can be very complicated, especially in the area of billing for services provided. BPH contracts with private physician groups who use the hospital facilities, equipment, and nursing staff to treat patients. The physicians in the private group are not employees of the hospital; they are simply using the hospital facilities to treat patients. For example, a group of urologists have their own practice, separate from the hospital, where they treat patients. If one of these patients needs a surgical procedure that must be done at a hospital, then the attending urologist will approve the paperwork required to admit the patient to BPH. BPH offers inducements to the urologists so they will refer patients to BPH rather than a competing hospital. One of the inducements BPH offers is free office space in the hospital for the doctors to use when they are treating patients in the hospital. After the doctor and hospital services are provided to the patient, the patient and/or the patient’s insurance company is billed. The doctor will bill for the services he or she provided, and the hospital will bill for the use of hospital facilities and staff. Doctors and hospitals bill using a coding system that is standardized across the healthcare industry and consists of three main code sets: ICD, CPT, and HCPCS. Using a coding system is more efficient and data-friendly compared to writing a narrative about the procedures performed. However, the coding system is very complex, with thousands of different codes for medical procedures and diagnoses. To complicate matters even more, for patients who are covered by government-sponsored Medicare or Medicaid, doctors and hospitals must adhere to complicated government regulations surrounding billings to Medicare and Medicaid. As healthcare costs continue to rise each year, BPH administrators struggle to maintain consistent profitability. They look for ways to keep costs low and also to collect outstanding payments from patients and insurance companies as quickly as possible. In addition, BPH must have a strong risk management team to handle unique situations that may occur in hospitals such as malpractice lawsuits and periodic inspections by the state regulators. Negative publicity for BPH could lead to decreased revenues if physicians decide to contract with a competing hospital.

a) Gather information: You have been assigned to evaluate revenue from patients who are covered by government-sponsored Medicare or Medicaid programs. What questions do you want to ask about BPH’s risk assessment controls?

b) Analysis: Assume that you are focused on the occurrence of revenue recognized from patients who are covered by government-sponsored Medicare or Medicaid programs. What controls do you expect to be in place regarding this assertion?

Select an industry, identify what might make that industry high-risk, and discuss factors that you would consider when deciding whether to disclose contingencies based on the selected industry.

It is the second Monday night in October and it is now 3 a.m. You cannot sleep. You are the CFO of Marysville General Hospital, a 300-bed community hospital in the Midwest. Your hospital board meets at noon on the second Tuesday of each month. You have a truly awful report to give the board, and you are dreading it more than anything else you've done in your 15-year career as a hospital senior manager. The target for days in accounts receivable (which the board and CEO set some years ago) is 55 days. When AR days are at 55, cash flow to the hospital is strong and you can meet all monthly obligations while putting some money away into investments for the hospital’s future. It has been several years now since the hospital has seen its AR at 55 days. There have been many factors, but AR has been in the 70–80 day range for some time now. Last month it crept up over 90 days, and this month you have the painful task of reporting to the board and CEO that the hospital is carrying 100 days in accounts receivable. You must come up with a plan to bring AR days back in line, and you will not be able to accomplish that alone. It will take cooperation from the medical staff, the clinical departments, health information management, the business office, and many others. But it must happen and it must happen soon, or your community could actually lose its hospital. Your Role/Assignment Come up with a plan to bring AR days back in line. It will take cooperation from the medical staff, the clinical departments, health information management, the business office, and many others, so include how you will involve these departments in devising a solution. As you prepare your process improvement plan, keep the following in mind. What further data collection will you conduct before beginning to write your plan? What will be the elements of your plan? For each element, who will be the key players and what will be their roles? What resources outside of senior management will you engage? How will you present your plan at the board meeting? How will you know that your plan has been effective?
