What in your understanding are the issues that Lewisham Hospital faces ?


The Lewisham Hospital NHS Trust comprises University Hospital Lewisham, The Children’s Hospital Lewisham and Dunoran Home (a residential nursing home in Bromley). The Trust manages approximately 650 beds and currently employs around 2,500 staff.
The Data Quality Challenge
The south-east London hospitals were seen as having problems with fragmented patient records, particularly the difficulty of identifying whether a record existed for a newly-admitted patient. When patients were admitted to hospital, they were not always correctly identified as having an existing medical record, often due to a change of name or address; sometimes the patient’s state of health made it difficult to get accurate details and sometimes it is simply a case of a clerical error in not finding the patient on the system.
New records were then opened for them and their previous history lost to their clinical team. With approximately 150 ‘new patient’ registrations each day to be compared against the 930,000 existing records in the Lewisham Hospital NHS Trust database, the search for duplicate records was a time-consuming manual task, taking more than half a day. At one stage there was a six month backlog.
As Terry Walton, IT Manager at Lewisham Hospital, points out, “This is not just about meeting government targets and overcoming fragmented patient records. There is a clinical risk if a newly-admitted patient is not identified as having an existing record with us.”
Having clean, high integrity patient data is also an essential requirement for connecting to the Connecting for Health Local Service provider. In his quest to achieve a single patient view, Terry applied for funding from Connecting for Health. He organised a joint procurement for

Famous Failures in Finance: Shady Trading at Enron Before it was known for its financial problems,...

Famous Failures in Finance: Shady Trading at Enron Before it was known for its financial problems, Enron, a utility firm operating pipelines and shipping natural gas, had become famous as a business pioneer, blazing new trails in the market for trading risk. In the 1980s the price of natural gas was deregulated, which meant that its price could go down and up, exposing producers and consumers to risks. Enron decided to exploit new opportunities in the commodities business by trading natural gas futures. The natural gas futures that traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange did not take into account regional discrepancies in gas prices. Enron filled this void by agreeing to deliver natural gas to any location in the United States at any time. In addition to trading natural gas and other energy contracts, in the late 1990s Enron began trading weather derivatives for which no underlying commodities existed. These were just bets on the weather. Its weather-derivatives transactions were worth an estimated $3.5 billion in the United States alone. Thanks to its near-monopoly position in derivatives products, Enron’s trading business was initially highly profitable. At one point, the company offered more than 1,800 different contracts for 16 product categories, ranging from oil and natural gas to weather derivatives, broadband services, and emissions rights, and it earned 90% of its revenues from trading derivatives. And unlike traditional commodity and futures exchanges and brokers, Enron’s online commodity and derivative business was not subject to federal regulations. However, Enron eventually lost its unique position as the energy business started to mature. When other firms entered the online derivatives-trading business, they competed by charging lower commissions and exploiting the same regional price discrepancies that had been Enron’s bread and butter. Enron’s trading operations became less profitable. To find new markets and products, the company expanded into areas such as water, foreign power sources, telecommunications, and broadband services. The farther it moved from its core businesses of supplying gas, the more money Enron lost. The company sought to hide those losses by entering into more risky and bizarre financial contracts. When financial institutions began to realize that Enron was essentially a shell game, they withdrew their credit. At that point, despite rosy assurances from its founder and CEO Ken Lay, Enron went into a death spiral that ended in bankruptcy on December 2, 2001. In July 2004 Lay was indicted on 11 counts of securities fraud and related charges. He was found guilty on May 25, 2006, of all but one of the counts. Each count carried a maximum 5- to 10-year sentence and legal experts said Lay could face 20 to 30 years in prison. However, about three and a half months before his scheduled sentencing, Ken Lay died on July 5, 2006, while vacationing in Snowmass, Colorado. On October 17, 2006, as a result of his death, the federal district court judge who presided over the case vacated Lay’s conviction.

Bogart is a listed company that reports using IFRS and has a reporting date of 30...

Bogart is a listed company that reports using IFRS and has a reporting date of 30 September 2020. Bogart purchased 18% of Lupin’s 100 million $1 ordinary shares for $43 million cash on 1 October 2018, gaining significant influence. Lupin had retained earnings of $85 million and no other components of equity, on the date of purchase.

The investment in Lupin was accounted for correctly in Bogart’s individual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2019, when Lupin had retained earnings of $150 million and no other components of equity.

Bogart acquired control over Lupin on 1 October 2019, purchasing a further 67% of its ordinary shares. Cash consideration of $160 million was correctly included in calculating goodwill. Purchase consideration included 3 million of Bogart’s own $1 ordinary shares, with a fair value of $1.40 each. No accounting entries were posted for this share consideration.

Bogart derecognised the carrying amount of the existing 18% holding in Lupin and included it in calculating the goodwill of the business combination. The carrying amount of the net assets of Lupin was also used in calculating goodwill. The fair value of the existing 18% holding was $73 million at 1 October 2019 and the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Lupin was $285 million. The excess of the fair value of net assets over the carrying amount was due to equipment with a remaining useful life of ten years. The fair value of the non-controlling interest in Lupin on 1 October 2019 was $63.8 million and was included in calculating goodwill.

On 30 September 2020, Bogart purchased an additional 5% of the ordinary shares of Lupin. The consideration transferred for these additional shares was $19 million cash, which was expensed to the consolidated statement of profit or loss. On 30 September 2020, Lupin had retained earnings of $185 million and no other components of equity

Required:

Discuss the correct recognition and measurement of this business combination in the consolidated financial statements of Bogart, showing calculations. Explain any accounting errors made and show the accounting entries required to correct those errors.

Kremlin Spirits Pty Ltd (Kremlin) operates a business from premises it owns in Brisbane importing premium...

Kremlin Spirits Pty Ltd (Kremlin) operates a business from premises it owns in Brisbane importing premium quality vodka. Its directors are Vasili and Svetlana (his niece). Kremlin has three shareholders: Vasili, Svetlana and Mikhail. Mikhail has lent considerable amounts of money to Kremlin over the years. Vasili controls the company’s business activities, while Svetlana does not concern herself with the day-to-day management of Kremlin’s business so that she does not really understand the business or its finances. Svetlana is currently undertaking a Bachelor of Commerce on a part-time basis and Vasili has told her that he would like her to take over the accounting side of the business when she finishes her degree in 2021. Due to the popularity of Australian wines, the vodka business falls into a slump. By early March 2020, Vasili is selectively paying trade creditors of Kremlin, having insufficient funds to pay all debts as they fall due. To prop up the company’s fortunes, however, Vasili arranges for the company to obtain a loan of $30,000 from an old friend to spend on advertising in April 2020. Despite the advertising campaign, a liquidator was appointed to wind up the company in June 2020.

Advise the liquidator in respect of the following matters under the Australian Corporations Act 2001 Cth:

(a) Whether there is any basis for recovering funds from the directors personally? If so, are there any defences that Vasili and/or Svetlana can rely on?

(b) In January 2020, Mikhail demanded that Kremlin should repay him some of the money it owed him. Vasili and Svetlana decided that Kremlin should pay half of the debt back to Mikhail.

(c) When Kremlin was established, it borrowed $100,000 from Large Bank. The loan was secured by a non-circulating security interest over the company’s premises and a circulating security interest over its assets and undertaking. Vasili and Svetlana also provided personal guarantees to the bank. When the circulating security interest was granted, neither Kremlin nor the Bank registered it on the Personal Property Securities (PPS) register. The necessary forms were provided to the bank, but a clerk at the bank lost the forms before they could be lodged.
