Questions on Ethics in Accounting

    Task
    Question 1 [7%]
    Role of Accountants
    Abbie and Lucy are sisters that own and operate Cough-up Chemists, a medium-sized company that runs three (3) retail stores. They are in the process of opening another two (2) stores within the next six months. They agree that due to the expansion of the business, they need to employ an additional staff member to assist with the increased accounting workload. However, they disagree on what type of role they need. Abbie thinks that hiring a bookkeeper would be the best option but Lucy thinks that they should employ an accountant. They have asked you to write a report to help them decide.
    Required
    You are required to write a brief report (500-600 words) and with reference (in APA 6th style) to at least two (2) but no more than four (4) sources of information outside the textbook in which you:
    provide an overview of the nature of bookkeeping and accounting roles
    identify any similarities and differences that exist between bookkeeping and accounting roles
    outline the advantages and disadvantages of both bookkeeping and accounting roles; and
    conclude with a recommendation for the sisters as to which type of role would be appropriate.
    Question 2 [4%]
    Ethics
    Jeanie Lafontaine has just accepted a graduate position with XYZ Accountants in her home town. Jeanie is extremely excited about finally being able to put her accounting degree into practice and accepted the position because XYZ Accountants are one of the largest firms in her local area. On her first day she was lodging some tax returns when she noticed a number of errors on one. Jeanie showed her supervisor and was instructed to correct the errors and then sign the updated tax return in the name of the client. Jeanie wasn’t sure she understood the instructions so asked again and was told to do her best copy of the client’s signature.
    Required
    You are required to use the Langenderfer and Rockness model (pg 60 in your text) to discuss Jeanie’s ethical dilemma (400 words).

He has been slowly building up clients by doing shoots on weekends and after work and is now ready to follow his dream.
