All Tunes Satellite Radio (ATS) provides a subscription service to satellite radio channels. Customers can pay for a subscription on a monthly basis, or pay for a year in advance and receive a 15% discount. Approximately 53% of customers pay in advance. When ATS receives payment in advance, a deferred revenue account (Unearned Revenue) is credited. At the end of each month as the satellite radio service is provided to customers, ATS makes an adjusting entry to recognize subscription revenue. The audit team is planning a reliance on controls strategy to obtain evidence of revenue recognition for ATS. The team will be testing internal controls over the recognition of subscription revenue during interim.
Explain the type of audit strategy planned by the audit team for
gathering evidence about revenue recognition.
Suppose during the interim testing of internal controls the team
discovers a significant number of instances in which subscription
revenue received in advance is recognized immediately as revenue.
Analyze how the audit strategy will be impacted.

Change in Estimate versus Error Correction Facts: Your company, PlumbAll, provides routine and quick response plumbing services to a range of corporate customers. Customers are expected to pay on the first of each month, in advance of receiving services. One of your customers is a private school that has been a longtime customer. The customer has not paid for the last four months of services (September–December 20X1); nevertheless, to maintain a positive relationship, your company continued to provide services during that time. Your company ceased providing services in January 20X2 and found out in that same month that the school filed for bankruptcy in August. You now believe that the collection of the missed payments is extremely unlikely. Your company has already issued financial statements to lenders (for the period ending 12/31/X1) that reflected revenue and a corresponding account receivable related to this customer of $11,000 per month for services provided to this customer. Those financial statements also reflected the company’s standard allowance (reserve) amount on receivables of 3% of sales. In total, your company’s average monthly sales amount to $300,000.
Required:
1. Evaluate whether receipt of this information indicates you have a change in estimate or whether the customer’s bankruptcy results in this event being considered an error in previously issued financial statements.
2. Describe the accounting treatment required by the Codification for each alternative. Support your explanations with draft journal entries.
3. Briefly state which treatment appears to be more appropriate given the circumstances, describing any assumptions you made in concluding.

Suppose that you are a consultant that gives advice to small entrepreneurial firms that want to become corporations. As you know, becoming incorporated and publicly-traded (issuing common stock) involves adopting Articles of Incorporation, which establish the corporation’s Board of Directors structure, the number of authorized and issued shares, voting procedures, etc.
Today, a client walks in your office and explains that she has successfully operated a small restaurant for many years and is ready to expand. Therefore, she wishes to incorporate and raise enough common equity to open new locations all over Texas.
The client, however, is concerned about other firms trying to acquire control of her firm in the future and asks your advice about 1) what voting rules, if put in the articles of incorporation, might discourage a takeover, 2) whether the number of directors and the timing of their re-election is an important consideration, and 3) if there are any other ideas you might have to help her fend off possible take-over attempts. Give her some advice.
