3. One of the most controversial issues in the field of Marketing is the long-run impact that advertising has on brand awareness. That is, while a short-term impact is commonly observed (i.e. increased awareness of the advertised brand within a one-two week time frame of the ad appearing), the longer-term impact is less well understood. To this end, the Marketing Research Firm (MRF) conducted a study to assess the longer-term impact of advertising on his newly launched brand of detergent, clean-so-good (CSG). The way MRF conducted the study for CSG was as follows:

i. MRF split the population into families without children (FWTC) and families with children (FWC).

ii. From each of these two populations MRF selected a random sample of 50 households without replacement from phone company records.

iii. Before any advertising occurred, MRM asked each of the households to check off from a provided list of all major brands of detergents (of which CSG is one of them) which brands they were aware of. (The BEFORE data)

iv. The results of the BEFORE study indicated that 12 out of 50 FWTC were aware of CSG while 18 out of 50 FWC were aware.

v. For a one-week period CSG ran a set of national advertisements in all major markets.

vi. Six months later MRF collected data in an identical fashion to step (iii), but now AFTER the advertising campaign.

vii. The results of the AFTER study, obtained from a new random sample (without replacement) from the FWTC and FWC populations indicated that 14 out of 50 FWTC and 28 out of 50 FWC were aware of CSG.

Based on this information provided, please answer the following questions.

a) State an appropriate null and alternative hypothesis to test that the awareness BEFORE the advertising was the same in the FWTC and FWC groups versus the alternative that it was not the same in the FWTC and FWC group.

b) Test the null versus alternative hypothesis from previous part at the =0.05 significance level. Be sure to support your conclusion with the appropriate test statistic and p-value.

c) Suppose that you wanted to test the null versus alternative hypothesis that the overall fraction of people before the advertising that were aware of CSG was the same as that after the advertising. What additional information would you need to make this assessment? (Hint: the people before the advertising includes both FWTC and FWC groups. How should we combine the two groups in our test so it would be representative of population?)

d) Test separately at the =0.05 significance level, for both the FWTC and FWC groups, that the fraction of people who were aware of CSG BEFORE the advertising is the same as the fraction of people AFTER the advertising, versus the alternative that advertising changed the awareness.

e) What can you conclude about the long-run effectiveness of advertising? f) Do you think that the impact of advertising, as measured here, may be different if an established product (as compared to a new one) was studied? If yes, how? If no, why not?

Monsanto Rounds Up $80 Million in Accounting Violations ST. LOUIS (FEBRUARY 9, 2016) BY MICHAEL COHN,...

Monsanto Rounds Up $80 Million in Accounting Violations

ST. LOUIS (FEBRUARY 9, 2016)

BY MICHAEL COHN, Accounting today

The Securities and Exchange Commission said Tuesday that St. Louis-based agribusiness Monsanto Company has agreed to pay an $80 million penalty ….. to settle charges that it violated accounting rules and misstated company earnings pertaining to its flagship product Roundup.

An SEC investigation found Monsanto had insufficient internal accounting controls to properly account for millions of dollars in rebates offered to retailers and distributors of its herbicide Roundup after generic competition had undercut Monsanto’s prices and resulted in a significant loss of market share for Roundup. Monsanto booked substantial amounts of revenue resulting from sales incentivized by the rebate programs, but failed to recognize all of the related program costs at the same time. Therefore, Monsanto materially misstated its consolidated earnings in corporate filings during a three-year period….

The agribusiness giant has attracted controversy over the years for pressuring farms to buy its Roundup-resistant seeds every year and suing them if they re-use the seeds. The company has even sued farms where Roundup-resistant crops were found to be growing because the genetically modified seeds had blown over from neighboring farms. Monsanto has also faced lawsuits of its own for hiding the carcinogenic effects of a key ingredient in Roundup. Accounting violations are a relatively new area for Monsanto, however…

According to the SEC’s order instituting a settled administrative proceeding against Monsanto, accounting executives … and sales executives…began telling U.S. retailers in 2009 that if they “maximized” their Roundup purchases in the fourth quarter they could participate in a new rebate program in 2010. Executives developed talking points for Monsanto’s sales force to use when encouraging retailers to take advantage of the new rebate program and purchase significant amounts of Roundup in the fourth quarter of the company’s 2009 fiscal year….Approximately one-third of Monsanto’s U.S. sales of Roundup for the year occurred during that quarter.

The SEC contended that … U.S. GAAP required the company to record in 2009 a portion of Monsanto’s costs related to the rebate program, but Monsanto improperly delayed recording these costs until 2010.

Monsanto also offered rebates to distributors who met agreed-upon volume targets. However, late in the fiscal year, Monsanto reversed approximately $57.3 million of rebate costs that had been accrued under these agreements because certain distributors did not achieve their volume targets (at the urging of Monsanto). Monsanto then created a new rebate program to allow distributors to “earn back” the rebates they failed to attain in 2009 by meeting new targets in 2010. Under this new program, Monsanto paid $44.5 million in rebates to its two largest distributors as part of side agreements arranged by management, in which they were promised late in fiscal year 2009 that they would be paid the maximum rebate amounts regardless of target performance. Because the side agreements were reached in 2009, Monsanto was required under GAAP to record these rebates in 2009. But the company improperly deferred recording the rebate costs until 2010.

Monsanto repeated the program the following year and improperly accounted for $48 million in rebate costs in 2011 that should have been recorded in 2010, according to the SEC. Monsanto also improperly accounted for more than $56 million in rebates in 2010 and 2011 in Canada, France and Germany. They were booked as selling, general and administrative expenses rather than rebates, which boosted gross profits from Roundup in those countries…..

Monsanto said it cooperated with the SEC settlement…” (It) neither admitted nor denied the SEC’s allegations. Today’s announced settlement does not require any changes to the company’s historical financial statements due to our proactive efforts to restate our financials for the period at the center of the SEC’s investigation.”

She pointed out that that the $80 million civil penalty was fully reserved for and previously disclosed in the company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2015.

Miller also objected to how Monsanto has been characterized. “We do not pressure farmers into buying our products. Farmers have lots of choices and we must earn their business every year….. Additionally, Monsanto has never sued a farmer when trace amounts of our patented seeds or traits were present in the farmer’s field as an accident or as a result of inadvertent means. …

Despite lawsuits against Monsanto over its ingredients, Miller contended that glyphosate (a key ingredient in Roundup) does not cause cancer. “Glyphosate is a vital tool for agriculture with a more than 40-year history of safe use,” she said. “Glyphosate has been the subject of hundreds of detailed health and safety studies – making it one of the most thoroughly studied herbicides on the market….”

…(Executives) agreed to pay penalties of $55,000, $50,000 and $30,000 respectively, and agreed to be suspended from appearing and practicing before the SEC as an accountant (for a period of time)….

The SEC’s investigation found no personal misconduct by Monsanto CEO …who reimbursed the company $3,165,852 and $728,843, respectively, for cash bonuses and certain stock awards they received during the period when the company committed accounting violations. Therefore, it wasn’t necessary for the SEC to pursue a clawback action under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

1)     Audit theory says that the risk of material misstatement is a component of inherent risk and control risk. Assume you are the auditor for Monsanto for 2009. Discuss ways in which the auditors could have been become aware of inherent risks of material misstatement during the planning stage. Identify key inherent risks as evidenced in the reading.

2)     What accounts (based on what is described in the narrative) are over or understated? Where do the accounts fit within the scope of these accounting elements – current assets, long-term assets, current liabilities, long-term liabilities, contributed capital, accumulated other comprehensive income and retained earnings?   Indicate the account, its position in the elements, whether or not it is over or understated, and discuss the specific financial statement assertion violated.

3)     Discuss what happened in terms of the fraud triangle.

4)     What do you think about the PCAOB’s role in this matter?
