CR – May 2017 – L3 – Q7b – Integrated Reporting

Discuss the usefulness of cash flow statements and the potential benefits of integrated reporting.

Question

The directors of Duranga Plc. have learned that corporate reporting could be improved by adopting the International Integrated Reporting Council’s Framework for Integrated Reporting. The directors believe that International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which the company has recently adopted following the decision of the Federal Executive Council, are already extensive and provide stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of its financial position and performance for the year. They believe that with over 100 countries adopting IFRS, their financial statements speak the international financial reporting language and practice. In particular, statements of cash flows, which the company prepares in accordance with IAS 7, enable stakeholders to assess the liquidity, solvency, and financial adaptability of a business. They are concerned that any additional disclosures could be excessive and obscure the most useful information within a set of financial statements. This is against the backdrop of a recent effort by the IASB on excessive disclosures in financial statements. They are therefore unsure of the rationale for the implementation of a separate or combined integrated report.

Required:
Discuss the extent to which statements of cash flow provide stakeholders with useful information about an entity and whether this information would be improved by the entity introducing an Integrated Report. (6 Marks)

MGE – Nov 2014 – L2 – Q6 – Corporate Governance

Evaluating stakeholder impact and ethical principles in response to financial reporting manipulation.

Question

Gloria Okeke is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Magi and Magi Pharmaceuticals, which produces drugs for the Lagoona region of the country. Gloria is convinced that the company is doing quite well and the management is following due process in terms of structure and governance. She believes that this is the reason for the company’s steady growth in terms of revenue, profit, and earnings.

In 2013, Magi and Magi Pharmaceuticals made a profit of 70% over and above the 2012 results. Mr. Joeb, the Chief Accountant, is quite impressed and is of the opinion that the company should make full disclosure of its profits in the Financial Statements, thinking this would engender greater confidence and attract additional investment in the company.

However, Gloria, claiming to be the boss, instructed Joeb to increase her compensation and inflate the cost of production of pharmaceutical drugs to reduce the disclosed profit of the company.

Joeb outrightly disagreed with Gloria’s instruction, giving her a long talk about his duty to comply with his Institute’s professional rules of conduct. However, Gloria cut short the meeting, saying that she did not wish to entertain any further discussion about her decision. She advised Joeb, in his own interest, to implement her instructions.

Required:

a. As a chartered accountant, specify any THREE categories of stakeholders that Joeb should consider in taking any professional decision or action with regard to the instruction stated above and give reasons for your choice.
(7½ Marks)

b. Discuss the basic principles of ethics that Joeb, as a chartered accountant, should comply with in the course of carrying out his professional responsibilities.

MGE – Nov 2014 – L2 – Q2 – Strategic Planning Process

Elements of a corporate mission statement to reflect values, customer focus, and ethical operations.

Question

In January 2014, Mr. Uzodike Okoh, the Managing Director of DEF Oil Mills Limited, constituted a Strategic Planning Committee to coordinate the development of a five-year strategic plan for the company. This is the first time a formal strategic plan is being attempted in the company.

After several meetings of the Strategic Planning Committee, Mr. Ibrahim Edoro, the Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee, presented what he described as a road map to actualize the objectives of the company. Several sub-committees were constituted to work on different aspects of the strategic plan.

Mrs. Edwards is the Chairperson of the sub-committee assigned to articulate and draw up the mission statement of the company. The Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee took particular interest in the work of this sub-committee because, according to him, an appropriate mission statement would set the tone of the strategic plan, galvanise energies of the entire workforce, and set a clear direction for the company.

At the first meeting of the mission statement’s sub-committee, Mrs. Edwards distributed working papers, which included the history of the company. Speeches delivered by the pioneer Managing Director on different occasions and mission statements of similar companies were also provided.

The next meeting of the sub-committee was a brainstorming session in which participants were asked to identify the key elements that should be incorporated into the mission statement of the company.

Required:

As a member of the sub-committee on mission statement, identify and explain any FIVE elements which may be incorporated into the mission statement of the company.
