QUESTION 2 (ETHICS) [28] Irry Sponsible owns a restaurant in Bloemhof. His father has lent him R200 000 to get the business started. Consider the following examples of poor corporate governance. Indicate which characteristic/s of good governance these examples violate, by placing a X in the appropriate block/s. Irry tells his kitchen assistant to throw waste food in the river nearby. Irry makes lengthy private calls from the business phone. Irry pays his gardener at home wages of R800, but he records this as a business expense. A customer is ill after eating fish at the restaurant. Irry says to him that his fish supplier delivered defective fish. Irry serves alcohol to customers under the age of 18. Irry fires a waiter because his wife had an argument with him. The wife was at fault. Irry deliberately under-pays VAT to SARS by R7 000. Irry employs a new waiter at half the salary paid to other waiters, because he knows he is desperate for the job. Irry tells his father that he cannot make the loan repayments this month because business was slow. However, he took extra drawings to pay for an overseas holiday. Irry spends R2 000 per week from petty cash on sundry expenses (the budget is R500 per week). Irry deliberately gives a customer change of R80 instead of R60. The customer does not notice. Irry refuses to spend R3 000 on a security gate at the front door of the business. One afternoon, the cashier is seriously injured by a burglar in a robbery. Irry tells his employees that he cannot give them more than a 4% salary increase this year because the business is not doing well. Meanwhile, he decides to employ his wife as a manager. Despite the fact that many employees from a local business regularly buy lunch at his restaurant, Irry refuses to contribute R500 for an advertisement in their AIDS-
awareness brochure. QUESTION 3 (GAAP PRINCIPLES) [6] WORD BANK Match the statements with the correct GAAP principle below. Historical cost principle Materiality principle Going concern principle Prudence principle Business entity principle Matching principle 3.1 If a business knows that it has incurred an expense, such as a telephone account for R2 400 due that has not been paid by the end of the financial year, it must still be included in the expenses for that year. 3.2 A person reading the financial statements of a business assumes the business intends to continue to operate in the near future and that the owner of a business does not intend to sell (or close down) the business at any time in the near future. 3.3 The business financial statements must be prepared without taking into account the owner s personal assets and liabilities. 3.4 Because it is important for the business owner to assess the cost of borrowed money from different sources, they will need to know how much money the business spends on interest on its overdraft. As a result, the interest on overdraft must be shown separately from bank charges. 3.5 An accountant will not record any possible income that the business might have earned, unless it can be proved that it has been earned beyond all doubt. 3.6 If trading stock, that normally costs R86 000, was purchased at a bargain price of R80 000, the accountant will record it at the purchase price of R80 000.
