Question:
i need this by early morning. His mother later remarried--a fellow named MacAdam--and Johnny grew up in his stepfather's home with his mother, stepfather, sisters, brothers, and the stepfather's children. Even though this was his stepfather, Johnny actually had a closer relationship than with his natural father, who had moved out of state when he received a promotion at work. Johnny was never adopted by Mr. MacAdam, and kept the O'Boy family name. Johnny G. O'Boy grew up and became an accountant. He went to work for a large office of a large CPA firm. So far, he has progressed from being a fresh-out-of-school kid to being an incharge accountant who is responsible for running the field work portion of an audit. (Note: The field work is the work done at the client's place or places of business.) Since he has done so well, he has progressed, and lately he was assigned to be the incharge accountant running the audit of XYZ Corp., one of the largest audits done by that office of that accounting firm. He has brought in the file of audit working papers for your review. You notice that the chief financial officer of the audit client company is named MacAdam. You also find in the work papers--loose, not bound as part of the work papers--a handwritten note to Johnny from MacAdam ("From the desk of....") which begins, "Son, bring home a birthday cake tonight so we can give your mother her presents. Also, let's talk about whether it is time for you to sell some of your shares in XYZ. You have been buying shares with your birthday money for years, and by now you have so much of your net worth wrapped up in XYZ that you probably ought to sell at least some of your shares so you can diversify." Required: a. What are the ethical responsibilities of you and your firm in this situation? b. What should be the outcome of this situation? Why? c. If you are satisfied that all the audit procedures have been done properly and that the financial statements fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, what kind of report should your firm issue? Why?
