Adventures in Wild Life conducts tours of wildlife reserves around the world. They have recently purchased a new lodge in Adak, Alaska, utilizing a 4% mortgage from Bank of Alaska. As part of the agreement they must provide an annual report showing they are achieving a current ratio of 1.2 or better. In order to ensure they achieve this ratio, the CEO requested the CFO to reclassify the long-term debt investments into brokerage accounts to allow them to sell them soon. The adjustments were done knowing the company was not planning on selling these long-term investments. The economy took a downturn and the business saw revenues drop more than 60%.

  1. Explain how the move of long-term investments to brokerage investments would change the financial statements and how this movement would affect the current ratio.
  2. What information on the financial statements should have shown the bank of this movement?
  3. Determine if there was fraud in this movement and the type of fraud.

The chain of custody is very important to fraud investigations to ensure the validity of the data (Hopwood, Leiner, & Young, 2012). How do we ensure the chain of custody and what does it mean in various circumstances?

For instance, let’s consider a fraud is suspected in company A. The Administrative Assistant has been given far too much access as she can back post, make journal entries, create unique invoices (on her computer), mail those invoices and also receipt the money when it comes in to pay them. Among the many other permissions she holds she is the safe-keeper of the signature stamps of the CEO, Controller and President and she reconciles the bank and cash account. Thus, not only is there a lot of physical evidence to locate and document there may be items on her computer.

Should the investigator start to examine the computer contents for further evidence? Why or why not and how should it be handled if your answer is no.

Question B5
Lancy had been employed by IBM Ltd (IBM), a US company which carries on business in Hong Kong. Due to Lancy’s father being very ill, she needed to fly to Canada in the following week to take care of him. On 30 November 2019, Lancy submitted her resignation to IBM and terminated her employment with immediate effect by foregoing one-month’s salary in lieu of notice.
As it was possible Lancy might need to stay in Canada for a few months, she requested that IBM remit any outstanding payment owed to her (including her leave pay and payment from IBM’s provident fund, and after deducting the one-month’s salary in lieu of notice) to her bank account in Canada.
Required:
You are financial planner of the CEO of IBM. You are required to advice IBM the potential obligations on tax in respect of Lancy’s resignation.
