Colgate-Palmolive was poised to launch a new toothbrush called Precision in the US. There were debates around whether to position it as a niche product targeting gum health or go mainstream. Mainstream would capture more market share but risked cannibalizing existing products. Research found consumers were motivated by gum prevention and the product was seen as different but the design was uninspiring. It was recommended to start with niche positioning and later broaden to mainstream. The brand should emphasize "Precision by Colgate" to reduce cannibalization. A communication strategy including advertising, promotions and dental sampling was needed to support the launch.

Instructions
Assume that you are the auditor of ABC Inc, for the fiscal year 2006. No audit procedures have been performed other than general information gathering. Please read all the information given below carefully and then identify any possible material misstatements that exist in the accompanying financial statements and the notes.
Brief Description of Operations and Management obtained during general information gathering:
ABC Inc. is a large publicly held corporation that is involved in manufacturing operations. ABC’s manufacturing operations are spread over 4 states and 2 foreign countries. The net worth of the company is approximately 500 million dollars.
The company has reasonably reliable internal controls. It maintains an in-house internal audit function, which is run by an experienced and well trained group of company employees, who are answerable only to an audit committee comprised of independent directors. The divisional managers of the company decide the timing and scope of all internal audit work. The internal auditors also spend a significant amount of time on consulting work in addition to their usual internal audit compliance work. Due to the large geographical coverage and international operations, the divisional managers have to deal with complex revenue recognition, asset valuation and, transfer pricing issues. This makes it necessary for the divisional managers to use their judgment and discretion to come up with various estimates for some of the company’s complex transactions. The company’s external audit is performed by a Big 4 accounting firm. ABC Inc. is the largest client for the Big 4 accounting firm office, located in the region where the company is incorporated. The company rotates its external auditors at regular intervals.
The divisional managers’ compensation plans consist of a relatively low fixed salary. A significant part of the compensation consists of generous and large bonuses that are dependent on meeting aggressive earnings and performance targets. Through this compensation scheme, the board of directors hopes to encourage the divisional managers to improve ABC’s overall earnings performance. The divisional managers have struggled to meet these earnings targets in the past 3 quarters. The manufacturing industry as a whole has experienced a marginal growth in sales for the last three years amidst increasing competition from local and foreign companies.
The following are the financial statements, explanations and the notes, as provided by the management of ABC Inc. Please read them carefully and answer all the questions following the financial statements

Ending stagnation: How to boost prosperity across Scotland
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightness
What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightnessLabour Market Information Council | Conseil de l’information sur le marché du travail
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.Earn a passive income with prosocial investing
