You have been the Accounts Manager of a Silk World LLC Sohar, for five years. Its yearend is 31st December 2021, and you are finalizing the year end accounts. You have recently been advised by the stores manager of a significant level of slow-moving stock. The stock in question is now more than twleve months old and would normally have been written down some months previously. The shareholders of Silk World LLC are trying to sell the company, and the managing director (the majority shareholder) has told you that it is not necessary to write down the stock in the year end accounts. You are sure that the managing director wants the financial statements to carry an inflated stock valuation because he has found a prospective buyer. The managing director has indicated to you that, if the proposed deal is successful, all the employees will keep their jobs and you will receive a pay increase.
