Problem 1-27A  Accounting’s role in not-for-profit organizations

Charles Robertson is struggling to pass his introductory accounting course. Charles is intelligent but he likes to party. Studying is a low priority for Charles. When one of his friends tells him he is going to have trouble in business if he doesn’t learn accounting, Charles responds that he doesn’t plan to go into business. He says that he is arts oriented and plans someday to be a director of a museum. He is in the school of business to develop his social skills, not his quantitative skills. Charles says he won’t have to worry about accounting since museums are not intended to make a profit.

Required

  1. Write a brief memo explaining whether you agree or disagree with Charles’s position regarding accounting and not-for-profit organizations.
  2. Distinguish between financial accounting and managerial accounting.
  3. Identify some of the stakeholders of not-for-profit institutions that would expect to receive financial accounting reports.
  4. Identify some of the stakeholders of not-for-profit institutions that would expect to receive managerial accounting reports.

Problem 1-35A  Factors associated with white collar crime

Clair Cubelic, a private accountant employed by a large corporation, holds the CMA professional designation. She is a trusted employee who is eager to help others whenever necessary. For example, Clair frequently orders merchandise when purchasing department personnel are overburdened. Clair’s only problem is that she feels she is underpaid. Several men in her office make more money than she does and they are not even professionally certified accountants. Clair has significant debt that she acquired while she was a student and has trouble paying her monthly bills. A close friend of Clair’s sells supplies to the company. When Clair complained to him about her pay situation, he joked that he could help her get even by sending the company less merchandise than was shown on the purchase orders. He laughed and suggested they could split the rewards of the rip-off between them. To his surprise she responded with a serious plan that would enable them to embezzle several thousand dollars per month from her company. She assured him that she could gain control of all phases of the purchasing system from ordering to payment. Unfortunately for Clair, what started as a joke ultimately ended with a jail sentence.

Required

Name the three factors that Donald Cressey found to be associated with white collar criminals. Identify these factors as they apply to Clair Cubelic’s case.
