问题如下:

(2) Lenihan’s concern about Euronet’s loans receivable from customers most likely indicates that he suspects that the company may be engaging in:

选项:

A.

off-balance-sheet financing.

B.

classification shifting.

C.

manipulative discretionary accruals.

解释:

B is correct. Euronet’s reporting of the loans receivable from customers as other assets reduces its accounts receivable balance and may result in more favorable accounts receivable measures. This is known as “classification shifting”.

A is incorrect. In this situation, Euronet is providing loans (financing) to its customers. Further, the fnancing provided is listed on the balance sheet as another asset. Off-balance-sheet financing refers to liabilities incurred by an entity that are not reported on its balance sheet.

C is incorrect. Discretionary accruals typically involve transactions or accounting choices outside the normal course. In this situation, Euronet is described as increasing the proportion of its vendor-financed sales, implying that vendor loans are a normal activity for the company.

同学你好,上道题和这道题考察的是一个部分的内容,建议同学还是把基础班这部分内容再复习一下哦

classification shifting.就是下面截图中黄色的部分,有两种类型,一种是将收入,费用等归入错误的分类,还有一种就是本题说的把资产,负债归类错误——对应题干这个部分内容“Euronet has categorized the associated loans receivable from customers as a component of other assets rather than as accounts receivable”,公司把应该归类为应收账款的归类为其他的资产类型了,这就是一种典型的把资产错误归类的方式

A选项:表外融资,一般就是把financing lease变成operating lease,或是公司跟提供融资方签订回购协议并且不在报表中体现,看起来是销售货物,实际是未来会回购并给对方一定的利息

C选项:简单的例子,可以理解为是异常的应收账款。假设公司正常经营的话,持续一段时间后就会发现,公司的应收账款和sales之间是成正相关,并且就在sales的某个比例范围内的。但是如果一个公司突然当期的应收账款远高于过往的比例,就可以认为是公司虚增销售额的表现。其他的应收款项和应付款项也是同理
