Week 1
Individual Assignment: CPA Report
As the CPA for a large organization, your manager has asked you to provide
information to outside CPAs who are examining a subsidiary that has been set up
as a corporation. As part of their review, the CPAs have asked you to provide
them with the following explanations:
· The methodology used to determine deferred taxes
· The procedures for reporting accounting changes and error corrections
· The rationale behind establishing the subsidiary as a corporation
Prepare your response to the three questions. Before submitting your response,
your manager would like to know a little bit more about the request. She has
asked you to tell her what your professional responsibilities are as a CPA, and the
difference between a review and an audit.
Provide draft responses to the above questions. Additionally, provide your
manager with a summary of your responsibilities in an internal memo (no more
than 1,050 words).

Week 4
Individual Assignment: Restructuring Debt
Resources: University of Phoenix Material: Restructuring Debt Data
Review the Restructuring Debt Data information.
Part A: Provide your manager a comparison of the current reporting for debt,
explaining the requirements for each type (bond, mortgage, capital lease, and
others). Then, prepare the journal entries for the restructuring.
Part B: To satisfy various benefit issues that have arisen as a result of the
restructuring, new postemployment benefits have been created. The company
currently has a defined benefits plan and is considering switching to a defined
contribution plan to save costs. Compute the costs associated with keeping the
current plan versus the costs of a defined contribution plan where the employer
pays 3% of payroll. The agreement is that the employees get to keep what is
already in the defined benefit plan. This prevents the situation of having to
compute how much the company would recapture in surplus assets resulting from
terminating the old plan. Then, compute a new postemployment benefit expense
for 2007 and report this to your manager. Illustrate with schedules and notes.
