“Accounting for a Specific Circumstance” Please respond to the following:
- Use the Internet or the Strayer Library to research companies who have potential (1) pollution problems, (2) environmental-disposal problems, or (3) demolition issues (specifically big-box stores). Next, analyze how you, as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a “big box store” that has potential pollution, environmental-disposal, or demolition problems, would handle these costs in your financial statements and communicate this proposed plan to your colleagues on the management team. Indicate how any resistance would be overcome. Support your stance with the information that you obtained through your research.
- Recommend the advantages and disadvantages of recording the above-referenced costs in the financial statements and how this might alter the company’s public image.
