Simon is recently qualified as a professional accountant after completing
the practical requirements with Lau, Ho & Co. Certified Public Accountants (Lau). Soon afterwards, Simon applied for and secured a position with a Lau audit client, which is called Chan Cheung Kee Construction and Investment Co. (CCK). CCK is a Hong Kong based company listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. Simon has never worked on the audit of CCK before. During his first month at his new job, Simon becomes aware of the fact that a Lau's recommendation was partially or entirely responsible for him having been chosen for his job. Lau's advice is often sought by CCK's senior management. CCK requested Lau to provide some audit working papers relating to CCK's systems and operating procedures so that Simon can use these documents to speed up his training on CCK's system and operating procedures. Lau agreed and subsequently asked a junior audit staff to duplicate extracts from last year's audit working papers. One of the working papers extracts, which probably should not have been photocopied, indicates that Lau charges CCK its audit fee based on a formula that is calculated as a varying percentage, depending on how successful CCK is in its public offerings during the year. Simon does not immediately react by asking any potentially embarrassing questions. However, Simon is concerned with the apparent ethical violation. Simon is also uncertain about the ethical responsibilities that he has to both past and present employers, and to the professional bodies.
Discussion
a. Describe the apparent ethical violation.
b. Describe the ethical responsibilities Simon has.
c. Discuss the course of action that Simon should take

Innovative Tech Inc. (ITI) has been using the percentage of credit sales method to estimate bad debts. During November, ITI sold services on account for $110,000 and estimated that 1/4 of 1 percent of those sales would be uncollectible. Required: Prepare the November adjusting entry for bad debts. Starting in December, ITI switched to using the aging method. At its December 31 year-end, total Accounts Receivable is $94,400, aged as follows:

(1) 1–30 days old, $79,000;

(2) 31–90 days old, $11,000; and (3) more than 90 days old, $4,400.

The average rate of uncollectibility for each age group is estimated to be

(1) 11 percent,

(2) 22 percent, and (3) 44 percent, respectively.

Prepare a schedule to estimate an appropriate year-end balance for the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Before the end-of-year adjusting entry is made, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $1,800 credit balance at December 31. Prepare the December 31 adjusting entry. Show how the various accounts related to accounts receivable should be shown on the December 31 balance sheet.
