No employees should begin work until they have been approved by the Board of Education and entered into the payroll system. No employees should be entered into the payroll system until they have been approved by a supervisor. All paychecks should be distributed directly to employees at the official school locations by designated employees. Independent internal verification. Budgets should be reviewed monthly to identify situations where actual costs significantly exceed budgeted amounts.

ANATOMY OF A FRAUD
Art was a custodial supervisor for a large school district. The district was supposed to employ between 35 and 40 regular custodians, as well as 3 or 4 substitute custodians to fill in when regular custodians were missing. Instead, in addition to the regular custodians, Art “hired” 77 substitutes. In fact, almost none of these people worked for the district. Instead, Art submitted time cards for these people, collected their checks at the district office, and personally distributed the checks to the “employees.” If a substitute’s check was for $1,200, that person would cash the check, keep $200, and pay Art $1,000.

Issuing Bonds at a Discount
10-39
The issuance of bonds below face value—at a discount—causes the total cost of borrowing to differ from the bond interest paid.
The reason: Borrower is required to pay the difference between the issuance price and face value—the discount—at the maturity date. Thus, the discount is considered to be an additional cost of borrowing.

LO 5 Prepare the entries for the issuance of bonds and interest expense.
The sale of bonds above face value causes the total cost of borrowing to be less than the bond interest paid.
The reason: The borrower is not required to pay the bond premium at the maturity date of the bonds. Thus, the bond premium is considered to be a reduction in the cost of borrowing.

When bonds are retired before maturity, it is necessary to:

The carrying value of the bonds is the face value of the bonds adjusted for the bond discount or bond premium amortized up to the redemption date.

Every employer incurs liabilities relating to employees’ salaries and wages.
Salaries and Wages Payable — amounts owed to employees.
Withholding taxes (U.S. federal and state income taxes, and Social Security taxes) — amounts owed to the governmental taxing authorities.
Determining the payroll involves computing three amounts: (1) gross earnings, (2) payroll deductions, and (3) net pay.

Key Points The basic definition of a liability under GAAP and IFRS is very
similar. Liabilities may be legally enforceable via a contract or law but need not be; that is, they can arise due to normal business practice or customs.
Both GAAP and IFRS classify liabilities as current or non-current on the face of the statement of financial position. IFRS specifically states, however, that industries where a presentation based on liquidity would be considered to provide more useful information (such as financial institutions) can use that format instead.

Key Points Under IFRS, companies sometimes show liabilities before assets.
Also, they will sometimes show non-current liabilities before current liabilities. Neither of these presentations is used under GAAP.
Under IFRS, companies sometimes will net current liabilities against current assets to show working capital on the face of the statement of financial position. This practice is not used under GAAP.
The basic calculation for bond valuation is the same under GAAP and IFRS. In addition, the accounting for bond liability transactions is essentially the same between GAAP and IFRS.
Another Perspective
10-89
Key Points IFRS requires use of the effective-interest method for amortization of
bond discounts and premiums. GAAP allows use of the straight-line method where the difference is not material.
GAAP often uses a separate discount or premium account to account for bonds payable. IFRS records discounts or premiums as direct increases or decreases to Bonds Payable.
The accounting for convertible bonds differs between IFRS and GAAP. GAAP requires that the proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt be shown solely as debt. Unlike GAAP, IFRS splits the proceeds from the convertible bond between an equity component and a debt component. The equity conversion rights are reported in equity.

Key Points IFRS reserves the use of the term contingent liability to refer only to
possible obligations that are not recognized in the financial statements but may be disclosed if certain criteria are met. Under GAAP, contingent liabilities are recorded in the financial statements if they are both probable and can be reasonably estimated. If only one of these criteria is met, then the item is disclosed in the notes.
IFRS uses the term provisions to refer to liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. Examples of provisions would be provisions for warranties, employee vacation pay, or anticipated losses. Under GAAP, these are considered recordable contingent liabilities.
Another Perspective
10-91
Looking to the Future The FASB and IASB are currently involved in two projects, each of which has implications for the accounting for liabilities. One project is investigating approaches to differentiate between debt and equity instruments. The other project, the elements phase of the conceptual framework project, will evaluate the definitions of the fundamental building blocks of accounting. The results of these projects could change the classification of many debt and equity securities.
