Abstract

This case provides an example of a high technology company that is expanding and is facing cash flow constraints. It details financial reporting issues relating to the company’s most recent set of financial statements. It requires students to assume the role of a newly appointed auditor, to prepare a report analyzing the key issues and to provide advice to the owners of the Company. Students are faced with a set of integrated financial accounting and reporting issues. The case incorporates some overview audit issues, but it is most suitable as a capstone case in intermediate financial accounting, for use in either undergraduate or MBA courses. Virtually Perfect Corporation Résumé Le cas proposé par les auteurs fournit un exemple de société de haute technologie qui prend de l’expansion et fait face à des contraintes de trésorerie. L’on y traite en détail des problèmes d’information financière liés au jeu le plus récent d’états financiers de la société. Les étudiants sont appelés à jouer le rôle d’un auditeur nouvellement nommé et à rédiger un rapport dans lequel ils analysent les principaux enjeux et prodiguent leurs conseils aux propriétaires de l’entreprise. Les étudiants doivent résoudre un ensemble intégré de questions de comptabilité générale et d’information financière. Le cas aborde aussi certaines questions d’audit, mais il est particulièrement bien adaptéà la récapitulation en comptabilité générale intermédiaire, dans le cadre des cours de premier cycle ou de MBA.
