The following were account names copied from the financial statements of a large publicly traded company. They are purposely ambiguous so that you can practice thinking through where they go without seeing them on the financial statements. For each item, your discussion post should identify which accounting element it is (asset, liability, etc.) and why you decided that. Based on that decision, indicate which financial statement the item would be listed on. Then, guess as to which company reported the financial statements that included these items.

Investment securities

Credit card receivables

Premises and equipment

Securitized debt obligations

Marketing

Communications and data processing
