Belot Enterprises Case 1. Auditor David Robinson’s suggested compromise on the review of the Belot’s interim financial report (second quarter-from April1 through June 30) is appropriate. Because Belot Company has been struggled to survive in a mature and intensely competitive industry for several years, and the company has planned to implement an organizational Nail the Number campaign from April1 through June 30 to boost its quarterly operating income by 100 percent so that Belot Company will not be eliminated by its parent company, Helterbrand. During those three months, Belot Company has made many changes on its operation activities, such as products line, sales program, cost-cutting initiatives, and its accounting measurement, etc. Belot’s accounting general manager, Zachariah Crabtree decided to change the accounting method from “conservatism” to “precise point estimate” to record the company’s major discretionary accruals during its second quarter financial report; therefore, the company operating income dramatically has been increased 140 percent higher than the second quarter of prior year.
