Scobie Company began 2016 with a retained earnings balance of $142,400. During an examination of its accounting records on December 31, 2016, Scobie found it had made the following material errors, for both financial reporting and income tax reporting, during 2015.

1. Depreciation expense of $15,000 inadvertently had been recorded twice for the same machine.
2. No accrual had been made at year-end for interest; therefore, interest expense had been understated by $4,000.

Scobie’s net income after taxes during 2016 was $60,000. The company has been subject to a 30% income tax rate for the past several years. It declared and paid dividends of $13,000 during 2016.

1. Prepare whatever journal entries in 2016 are necessary to correct Scobie’s books for its previous errors. Make your corrections directly to the Retained Earnings account.

To correct a prior period that has been closed, adjust the book values of the assets and liabilities so that their balances reflect the correct amounts. An offsetting adjustment is made to Retained Earnings for the cumulative effect of the adjustments for prior periods. In this problem you are instructed to record two entries rather than a compound entry so your journal should contain four entries for this problem.

Case Scenarios: 1

‘The Evolving Dimensions of The Accounting Profession andThe 21st Century Expectations’

(Jeremiah & Daferighe, 2019)

The dimension of the accountancy profession is undergoing an increasingly expanding and unpunctuated global evolution. These 21st-century twists, however, tend to pose an identity threat to the profession. The much-celebrated software substitution of the traditional roles of the Accountant coupled with the apparent professional cross-carpeting of non-accountants aided by these emerging digital initiatives appears to ‘take-over' the seat of the Accountant. The following roles were identified for the discussion.
