Introduction


Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in business activities, certain items appearing in the financial statements cannot be measured accurately. They can only be estimated. (e.g. Bad debts.). The use of reasonable estimates which involve judgments based on the latest information available is essential for preparation of financial statements. It is called accounting estimates. It is very subjective, so in the auditing process, evaluating differences can be more difficult than in other areas of the audit. This essay will describe the auditor’s responsibility for examining management generated accounting estimates and describe the techniques commonly used by auditors to assess the reasonableness of those estimates. After that, it will show Waste Management Inc’s case to make these questions vividly.

sample report of AFF5150

this report needs 4000 words, the written part of this assessment was not hard, how to collect the data was the hard one, then using Excel to analysis the data. the whole "data" part costed us a lot of time...
this was a group assessment, and we got 20 out of 30. the main problem was the purpose of our study was unclear, so the marks were just so-so


Abstract


The Ohlson (1995) and Feltham and Ohlson (1995) papers are landmark works in financial accounting. But when we employ Ohlson model for Australian market, it shows that the book value of equity is not as significant as we expected. So, we develop our new models. We decompose book value of equity per share into assets per share and liabilities per share to explore whether the disaggregated accounting items can provide better value relevance to share price. And then we decompose assets and liabilities into current/ non-current assets and liabilities. Including Ohlson model, we totally employ three models in our paper. Finally, after conduct regression test, we found that using current assets per share, non-current assets per share, current liabilities per share, non-current liabilities per share and earnings per share can provide more and better information of value relevance.

how to prepare MKX9550 exam (1)

well, yesterday, Apple released couple of new products, includes new iPod shuffle, new iPod touch, and some other new services, such as Ping.

and, yesterday, i read the unit outline of MKX9550 2010 semester 2. well, this semester has additional assignment compared with last semester. so, i chose study MKX9550 in last semester was a good choice.

OK, go to the point. to prepare the MKX9550 final exam, first, you need to read carefully about the lecture notes of week 13. in week 13, the teacher will hand out the revision notes, but these notes just laid out some basic thing of this unit. you need to make the revision notes by yourself. and in this blog, i put the week 13 revision notes, and next time, i will put another revision notes.

NB: you need to understand each term in the revison notes, not just remeber their names.
