Impact of real earnings management on firms performanceAhmed Selim
Earnings management refers to practices used by company managers to misrepresent financial performance or alter reported income. There are several motives for and techniques of earnings management, including income smoothing and using discretionary estimates to manipulate reported earnings. Earnings management can be done through accrual manipulation or real activities manipulation like reducing discretionary expenses or timing asset sales.

Case studies on companies like GE and Samsung provide examples of earnings management techniques.

Prospective acquirers in merger and acquisition transactions will conduct thorough due diligence procedures to assess a target's financial performance and liabilities. A target's abandoned or unclaimed property compliance may not be high on the list of areas to evaluate, but it's an important component for the acquirer. Merger and acquisition activity is one of the most common triggers for abandoned and unclaimed property exposure. With the increase in state enforcement actions, abandoned/unclaimed property exposure can bring significant risk of penalties or fines to your organization, which may remain undiscovered until critical negotiations are conducted in the transaction.
In this session, we will discuss how AUP affects merger and acquisition activities, recent updates in AUP laws and regulations, sanctioned use of independent contingent-fee audit firms, best practices for identifying and managing sources of AUP and how to proactively correct past mistakes through AUP remediation.

A cost is allocable to a government contract if it:
- Is incurred specifically for the contract;
- Benefits both the contract and other work, and can be distributed in reasonable proportion to the benefits received; or
- Is necessary to the overall operation of the business, although a direct relationship to any particular cost objective cannot be shown.
In other words, a cost is allocable to a contract if it can be assigned to the contract through reasonable and consistent methods in accordance with relative benefits received or other equitable relationship. This helps ensure costs are not allocated to a contract multiple times or improperly.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
Starting a business is like embarking on an unpredictable adventure. It’s a journey filled with highs and lows, victories and defeats.

Let’s explore how resilience, adaptability, and strategic thinking can transform adversity into opportunity.

5. Today’s Agenda-Current Issues in Construction
and Surety Bonding
• Today’s Construction and Surety Markets
– How do I survive?
– Can I get bonding?
– Additional pressures on subcontractors
– Disadvantage Business Entity status and how it applies to public
work. What is the certification process?
• How does a Surety look at your information?
– Working capital with surety adjustments
– Liabilities to equity
– Job schedules
– Required financial statement disclosures
• SBA bonding changes in the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (stimulus package)
• Surety information checklist
6. Survival in Today’s Construction Market
• Forecast revenue and direct costs using existing backlog
• Then budget overhead
• Pay attention to employee productivity
– When work is slow it is human nature for time on a job to expand
– Look for a key performance indicator - examples
◊ Billings per employee
◊ Yards poured
◊ Blocks or sheets installed
• Evaluate equipment capacity and utilization
– Own versus rent
– Evaluate debt restructuring options
• Pay even more attention to cash flow
– Accelerate collection process
– Pursue retention receivable more aggressively
– Engage project managers with customer relationships in the collection
process
7. How to Survive in Today’s Construction Market
• Evaluate the financial strength of project owners and source of
project funding
• Tax deferrals are really important now
– A tax deferral is an acceleration of expense or a delay in recognizing
revenue for tax purposes
– Consider Methods
◊ Regular accounting method – contracts that start and end in the same year
◊ Residential contract method – homes that start and finish in different years
◊ Multifamily method – 4 or more dwelling units that start and finish in different
years
◊ Regular long term method – all other contracts that start and end in different
years
– File Look Back Form 8697 (Required for many contractors)
– Small Company 5 Year Carry Back
– Extension of Bonus Depreciation and $250,000 Section 179
8. Trends in Today’s Construction and Surety
Markets
• Bonding market is down but bonding is available for well
capitalized companies
• There is increasing surety, bank and general contractor
pressure on subcontractors to upgrade financial
statements from reviews to audits, and from compilations
to reviews
• Subcontractors being asked to bond more work
• Government work bid preference given to minority
contractors
9. Florida DOT Work
• Most of the stimulus bill impact on the Florida
construction industry comes from road construction
• All contractors/vendors/consultants wanting to do
business with the state must register here
http://dms.myflorida.com/mfmp
• All contractors/vendors/consultants wanting to do
business with the FDOT
– Contractors need to be prequalified for jobs over $250,000
http://www.dot.state.fl.us/cc-admin/PreQual_Info/prequalified.shtm
– Must have audited financial statements issued within last 4
months
– Will need to use Bid Express in bidding process www.bidx.com
10. Disadvantaged Business Entities
• Disadvantaged Business Entities are generally minority
or woman owned businesses. There is also a
disadvantaged business category for disabled veterans.
Preferential contract treatment is often given to
disadvantaged businesses during government bid
processes
• There are two different certification processes
– Federal Disadvantaged Business Entity Certification
(administered by the Florida DOT on Federally funded contracts).
– Florida Certified Business Enterprise (administered by the State
of Florida Department of Management Services, Office of
Supplier Diversity)
11. Federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
Status
• Federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise – Florida
Unified Certification Program (UCP-DBE)
– Mandatory program for all federally funded contracts. FDOT has
an overall goal of 8.1% that is expected to be committed to
certified DBEs
– To qualify, must be 51% owned and controlled by a socially and
economically disadvantaged individual(s) who are US citizens or
lawfully permanent resident, Small Business Administration’s size
standard (which varies by trade from $7M to $33.5M) and does
not exceed $22.41M in average gross receipts for the preceding
three years.
http://www.dot.state.fl.us/equalopportunityoffice/dbeprogram.shtm
– 15 UCP Certifying Agencies
https://www3.dot.state.fl.us/EqualOpportunityOffice/biznet%20ucp/ucppartners.asp
12. Florida Certified Business Enterprise Status
• State of Florida Certified Business Enterprise
– Certification widely accepted in the private sector, cities, counties,
hospitals, and other quasi governmental entities (no Federal
funding)
– To qualify, must have net worth of $5M or less, 200 or fewer full
time permanent employees, 51% percent owned, managed and
controlled by: African-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-
American, Native-American, American Woman, or Service-
Disabled Veteran (minimum 10% disability) who are US citizens
and residents of Florida
– http://dms.myflorida.com/other_programs/office_of_supplier_diversity_osd/certification/
13. Disadvantaged Business Entities
• While we have experience with our clients obtaining
DBE status, we aren’t experts in the DBE process.
• We’re seeing with our clients that strategies to achieve
DBE certification are often similar to strategies developed
for the transition of business ownership
– “Newco/2nd Corp Strategy”
– Ownership Transition by Gift
– Ownership Transition by GRAT
14. Sample GRAT Calculation
•Fact pattern – S corporation contractor worth
approximately $3,000,000. Net income
$250,000. Tax on S corporation income
handled through owner withholding.
•Contractor wishes to make key employee a
10% to 15% owner.
•Normal shareholder agreements put in place.
•Uses a Zero-Out GRAT as the transfer
vehicle.
15. Sample GRAT Results
•Shareholder contributes 35% of company in non-
voting shares to GRAT in February 2009 in exchange
for an annuity of $166,788 per year for 5 years (5 year
annuity payment at 2%).
•New owner’s distributions (35% of $175,000) paid to
old owner as partial funding of annuity. Difference
between annuity value and distributions received paid
in shares of stock (shares returned).
•At end of 5 year period, new owner retains 13%
ownership in company.
•Zero gift, so no gift tax paid or exclusion used
17. How Does a Surety Look At Your Information
• Financial stability is one of the most important
factors in obtaining surety credit.
• While most clients focus their attention on their
income statement, the most important section of
their financial statement to a surety is the
balance sheet.
18. Surety Indicators of Financial Stability
• Working capital (excess of current assets over current
liabilities). Adjusted by surety to take out related party
receivables, some portion of inventory, and other non
performing assets. Bonding program usually based on
some multiple of that number. Sometimes expressed as
Current Ratio or Quick Ratio. (In the example
statements $4,855,000 current assets minus $4,058,000
current liabilities results in $797,000 of working capital)
• Liabilities to Equity (total liabilities compared to
stockholder equity). Often expressed as a ratio
(liabilities are X times equity). A lower multiple would
mean less reliance on debt to fund operations, and
generally result in a larger bond line. (In our example
statements the $4,565,000 total liabilities is 2.1 times
$2,135,000 total stockholders’ equity)
19. Key Financial Ratios for Sureties
• An example of a working capital calculation by a
Surety.
20. Job Schedules Should Be Included In a
Contractor’s Financial Statement
• Include separate schedules of open and closed jobs.
This should be a complete listing of all contract activity.
• All direct and indirect costs (such as equipment
depreciation, fuel, payroll taxes, workers compensation
insurance, etc.) should be job costed and included in the
schedules. If your accounting software can’t do that
these costs must be allocated (and you should look for
new software).
• There should be a summary schedule (example page
21) that MUST equal the total revenue and direct costs
on the income statement (example page 4). There
should be no unallocated costs or revenues.
21. Note Disclosures That Should Be Included In a
Contractor’s Financial Statement
• Summary of accounting policies (example note 1, pages 8-11)
• Accounts receivable breakdown for open and closed jobs and receivable
retention held (example note 2 page 11)
• Summary of over and under billings (example note 4 page 15)
• Backlog note (example note 5 page 15)
• Income taxes (C Corp example note 9 page 18) (For S Corps or LLCs see
additional example handout that would be included as part of note 1)
• Related party transactions (example note 12 page 19).
• Commitments and Contingencies (if any) (example note 13 page 20)
• Consolidation of “Variable Interest Entities”
22. Financial Ratios a Surety Likes To See
• Working capital (adjusted for underbillings, prepaids,
slow inventory and slow receivables) at least 5% to 10%
of revenue
• Liabilities to Equity of 2 to 1 or less
• Equity 10% to 15% of revenues
• Cash at least 20% of equity
• Cash to overbillings of at least 1.25 to 1
• NO net Underbillings
• Contract fade of less than 1% of annual revenues (really,
Sureties want to see contract gain)
• Backlog gross profit in excess of 50% of G&A
• Bonded subs
23. Suggestions To Improve Your Surety Relationship
• Your bond agent should specialize in bonds.
• The fastest way to improve bonding capacity is to inject
capital into the business as equity. This increases
working capital and equity simultaneously.
• Restructure debt from credit lines to fixed term (has the
effect of reducing current liabilities and increases
working capital)
• Start thinking about business transition
24. How the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 Impacted Bonding
• The Act enhanced the Small Business Administrations
construction bonding program. Generally this is a
program of last resort and most bond agents and
agencies don’t participate because of the amount of
paperwork and time required to implement.
http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/osg/index.html
– Changed the definition of a small business by increasing the size
of contractors considered a small businesses to $22.41M
average annual revenue
– Increased the size of contracts that can be bonded to $5M
• Another option for contractors only able to bond through
the SBA is a “Funds Control” escrow arrangement.
Typically the escrow agent fees to handle the payments
are 1% to 2% of the contract amount.
25. Surety Information Checklist
• 3 years of independent audited/reviewed Financial Statement
(current year issued within 90-120 days of year end)
• Interim Financial Statements
• Aging of AR and AP
• Analysis of overhead costs (supplemental information)
• Equipment schedules
• P&L Statements
• Outline of bank agreements and loan covenants
• Up to date job cost reports
• Comprehensive business plan, forecast or strategy
• Continuity plan, buy sell agreements (indicating funded or unfunded)
• Resumes of key employees and management
• Contractor’s questionnaire
• Insurance certificate
• Letters of recommendation from owners, subs or suppliers
• Personal and corporate indemnity
• Personal financial statements

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(SEE ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Company's Business and Operating Cycle
The Company operates primarily as a general contractor in heavy and industrial
construction in Florida. The work is performed under cost-plus-fee contracts, fixed price
contracts, fixed price contracts modified by incentive and penalty provisions and unit price
contracts. These contracts are obtained through a competitive bidding process and vary in
size and duration. The contracts are undertaken by the Company alone or in partnership
with other contractors through joint ventures.
The Company, as conditions for entering into construction contracts, has provided surety
bonds on the majority of its contracts. These bonds are collateralized by the related
contracts.
The length of the Company’s contracts varies but is typically less than two years.
Accordingly, assets to be realized and liabilities to be liquidated within the operating cycle
are classified as current assets and liabilities.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
Revenues from fixed-price, modified fixed-price and unit price construction contracts are
recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, only after the contract attains a 10%
completion stage, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total
costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers expended
costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Revenues from
cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus
the fee earned, measured by the cost-to-cost method, or ratably over the term of the
project, depending upon the terms of the individual contract. Because of inherent
uncertainties in estimating costs and revenues, it is at least reasonably possible that the
estimates used will change.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
(SEE ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue and Cost Recognition (Continued)
Contract costs include all direct material, subcontractors, labor costs, and equipment costs
and those indirect costs related to contract performance. General and administrative costs
are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted
contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job
performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and
income and are recognized in the period in which the revenues are determined. Changes in
estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty
provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements are accounted for as changes in
estimates in the current period. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their
realization is reasonably assured. Claims are included in revenues when realization is
probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.
The asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,"
represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, "Billings in
excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in
excess of revenues recognized.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and subcontractors and may
require surety bonds. Liens are filed, when permissible, on construction contracts where
collection problems are anticipated. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, accounts
receivable are due from customers in the Midwest and are not concentrated in a particular
industry.
The Company’s cash balances are maintained in two bank deposit accounts. The balances
of these accounts may be in excess of federally insured limits.
Concentrations in Operations
The Company currently buys substantially all its materials from one supplier. Although there
are a limited number of suppliers of such materials in the industry, management believes
that other suppliers could provide similar materials on comparable terms. A change in
suppliers, however, could cause a delay in construction and adversely affect operating
results.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are securities held for cash management purposes having maturities of
three months or less from date of purchase.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
(SEE ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Contracts Receivable
Contracts receivable from performing construction are based on contracted prices. The
Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections which is based upon a review of
outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions.
Normal contracts receivable are due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Contract
retentions are due 30 days after completion of the project and acceptance by the owner.
Receivables past due more than 120 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent
receivables are written off based on individual credit valuation and specific circumstances
of the customer.
Investments in Securities
The Company’s investments in securities are classified in two categories and accounted for
as follows:
Securities to be Held-to-Maturity
Securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity
are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts
which are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to
maturity.
Securities Available-for-Sale
Securities available-for-sale, consisting of securities not classified as trading securities
nor as securities to be held to maturity, are reported at fair value.
Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities
below their cost that are other than temporary have resulted in write-downs of the individual
securities to their fair value. The related write-downs have been included in earnings as
realized losses. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on securities available-for-
sale are reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until
realized. Gains and losses on the sale of securities available-for-sale are determined using
the specific-identification method.
Inventories
Inventories consist of construction materials and supplies that have not been assigned and
charged to specific contracts and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The Company
depreciates property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated lives
of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings 30 Years
Equipment 5-10 Years
Vehicles 5-7 Years
Office Equipment 3-10 Years

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be
recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are
recognized based on the excess of the asset's carrying amount over the fair value of the
asset. Certain long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of
carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for future tax consequences attributable to
temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. Principally, these differences relate to depreciation of property
and equipment, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable and certain accrued
expenses. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax
asset will not be realized.
NOTE 2 CONTRACT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONTRACT CONCENTRATIONS
Contract accounts receivable consist of the following as of December 31:
2007 2006

Approximately $215,000 and $140,000, Respectively $ 2,025,000 $ 1,550,000

County, Florida and Collier County, Florida, represented approximately 25% and 24%,
respectively, of total contract revenues for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. No other contracts represented greater than 10% of the total contract
revenues in 2007 and 2006. The contract accounts receivable from these contracts were
$1,166,000 and $800,000 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Investment losses under one year old are expected to be recoverable in future periods and
are not deemed by management to be unrecoverable. Investment losses in excess of 1
year are also expected to be recoverable in future periods as market values have
recovered considerably during 2007 and the Company has the intent and ability to hold
these investments until further market recovery occurs.
The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Government Securities were
caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit
the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment.
Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market
price recovery, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments
to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2007.

(SEE ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as an S Corporation for federal and state income tax
purposes and, therefore, is not taxed as a separate entity. As such, the Company's taxable
income or loss is included in the stockholders' individual income tax return, based on their
stock ownership. Therefore, no provision for income taxes related to the Company's income
is included in the financial statements.
The Company recognizes income from long-term construction contracts on the percentage-
of-completion method for both financial and tax reporting purposes. Income for tax
purposes from some long-term contracts are deferred using other available tax accounting
methods. The Company’s S Corporation income tax returns depreciate property and
equipment using accelerated lives and methods of depreciation. The depreciation and
certain accrued liabilities are allowed as expenses in different years. The cumulative
amounts of these differences between tax and financial statement methods of accounting
are summarized as follows as of December 31, 2008:
2008 2007
Retained Earnings, Accompanying
Financial Statements $ 3,053,108 $ 1,723,529
Accelerated Depreciation for Tax Purposes (1,787) (14,759)
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation 55,300 36,600
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 70,000 25,000
Tax Return Accumulated Undistributed Income $ 3,176,621 $ 1,770,370
The anticipated shareholder Federal tax asset on deferred items at December 31, 2008 and
2007 is $42,000 and $16,000, respectively. It is expected that a distribution of $50,000 will
be made in 2009 to provide the shareholder funds needed for his 2008 individual income
tax liability.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2008. There was no impact to the
Company's financial statements as a result of the implementation of FIN 48.
