Answer to Question 5
Previously, I used to work in an educational institute where the institute used to prepare
the students for various entrance examinations like engineering, medical, management and
others. The work environment of the company consisted of computing work environment. my
job responsibility was to make sure that all the administrative and documentation works of the
company go smoothly. For this reason, I had to take the use of computers for various
documentation and administrative works. It needs to be mentioned that the computers of the
company needed update. I used to save the data and information in the data saving file. The
network in the organization was easily accusable and they are reliable as the network was linked
with the computers. Microsoft Office was installed in my computer as I had to work with various
software like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Power Point and Microsoft Outlook. I
had sufficient knowledge about the courses and programs that were offered to the students so
that they can score good marks in their exams. While managing the administrative works of the
company, I used to notice the fact that the organizations used to run in profits. However, at
present, I am working with a bank and I am posting as a manager in the bank. The bank uses to
provide different kinds of materials to me on a daily basis like schedule of tasks, documents
holders and others. The bank has also provided me with a computer for my office works. Apart
from this, there are enough chairs and desks so that the employees do not face any difficulties at
the time of performing the works. In banks, it is needed to develop effective strategies for
maintain secrecy and confidentiality of banking information. I enjoy working in the bank as the
working ambiance friendly and productive.
Answer to Question 6
Introduction
There are some major parts of this report. The first aim is to describe major financial
reports of the organizations along with their purposes. After that, the lessons from ABC Learning
collapse are discussed along with the description of three major ethical issues from the ABC
Case. The last part includes the summary of the report.
Major Reports
There are three major financial reports of the business organizations; they are Balance
Sheet, Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement. The income statements of the organizations
provide the financial managers with the insight about the expenses and revenues of the
companies (Brigham & Houston, 2012). In addition, with the assistance of income statements,
the financial managers of the companies can determine the profit or loss of the companies for a
specific period. With the help of balance sheets statements, the inventors can judge the financial
health of the companies. Apart from this, the position of assets and liabilities can also be
determined with the help of balance sheet. Cash flow statements provide the financial managers
with insight about the cash transactions of the companies (Brigham & Ehrhardt, 2013).
Key Lessons from ABC Learning Case
From the case study of ABC Learning, it can be seen that the company manipulated the
financial statements in order to get favorable results and situations. In case of ABC Learning, the
company made fraudulent in the financial statements with the use of higher amount of intangible

assets. This was done I order to attract the attention of the investors towards the company (Ross,
Sy & Tinker, 2012). Apart from this, there were many unethical practices included in the
preparation of financial statements of the company. The evaluation of the ABC Learning case
study shows the inability of the company in maintaining the required level of current assets in
order to mitigate the current obligations of the company. The manipulation was done so that the
company can raise more capital (Sumsion, 2012).
Ethical Issues
The three ethical issues are as follows:
 The company provided the investors and shareholders with wrong financial and
accounting information.
 Major accounting irregularities can be seen in the company’s accounting works.
 The financial managers of ABC Learning inflated the financial reports of the
company by increasing the amount of intangible assets (Gitman, Juchau &
Flanagan, 2015).
Summary
Three major financial statements of the companies are Balance Sheet statements, Income
Statements and cash Flow statement as the financial condition of the companies can judge with
the help of them. In case of ABC Learning, the financial managers of the company financially
manipulated the financial reports of the company in order to attract the attention of investors.
