When the economy slows and Wall Street gets jittery, concerns grow as companies are desperate to keep up earnings and stock prices.
And the result is?
Earnings Overstatement!
In this CPE course, Professor Jamie Pratt, CPA first defines earnings management and then introduces and illustrates the two basic forms: real earnings management and accruals earnings management. He illustrates each form, provides a number of examples, discusses whether they are appropriate, and then creates a framework for accruals earnings management that identifies and relates the four general areas (materiality, disclosure, classification, and measurement) where it is practiced. The CPE webinar concludes with a thorough discussion of why manipulation in financial statements through earnings management is practiced and common strategies used by companies.
Throughout the CPE course, real-world financial statements and footnotes are analyzed. Companies featured include General Electric, Merck, Harley Davidson, Tesla, AT&T, Volkswagen, Walt Disney, and others.
