Assume you are the CEO of a publically traded company. Your chief financial officer (CFO) informs you that your company will not be able to meet earnings per share targets for the current year. In that event your stock price will likely decline. The CFO proposes reducing the quarterly provision for uncollectible amounts (bad debt expense) to increase your EPS to the level analysts expect. This will result in an allowance that is less than it should be. The CFO explains that outsiders cannot easily detect a reduction in this allowance and that the allowance can be increased next year. The benefit is that your shareholders will not experience a decline in stock price. 1. Identify the parties likely to be affected by this proposed action. 2. How will reducing the provision for uncollectible accounts affect the income statement and the balance sheet? 3.

How might this action affect the moral compass of your company? What repercussions might this action have?
