Answer:

The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989

Explanation:

The Supreme Court established that the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 covered not only employees from government entities, but also employees from private organizations (Lawson v. FMR LLC, March 4, 2014).

Whistleblowers are employees of private businesses or government entities that report illegal activities carried out by their employers. This law protects whistleblowers against possible retaliation from their employers.

Answer:

Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Explanation:

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is a federal law that helps to audit and regulate financials for public companies.

It cracks down on corporate fraud.  It banned company loans to executives and gave job protection to whistleblowers. The Act gives power to the independence and financial literacy of corporate boards.

Lawmakers created the legislation specifically to help shield shareholders, employees and the public from accounting errors and fraudulent financial practices.

Former U.S. President George W. Bush, who signed the act into law on July 30, 2002, called the act "the most far-reaching reforms of American business practices since the time of Franklin Delano Roosevelt."

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

(a) What was the total of accounts written off during the first 11 months?

bad debts written for the first 11 months = allowance for bad debt accounts January 1 balance + bad debt expense - allowance for bad debt accounts November 30 balance = $13,085 + $21,937 - $9,919 = $25,103

(b) As the result of a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that the December 31, 2010, balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts account should be $9,450. Show the adjustment required in the journal entry format.Allowance for bad debt Debit $Bad debt expenses Credit $

to determine the amount of bad debt expense that must be adjusted, we must subtract the estimated balance in December 31 from the balance in November 30 = $9,919 - $9,450 = $469. Since the November 30 amount is larger, it means that we over estimated our bad debt expense and it must be reduced:

Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts 469

    Cr Accounts receivable 469
