He implemented a sales program that allowed customers who accept delivery this year to defer payment for 120 days, pulling sales that would have been made next year into the current year. 4.In November, with the division straining to meet budgeted earnings targets, the division manager called the engagement partner of a consulting firm that had done some work for the division. He asked that the firm not send an invoice until next year. The partner agreed. Estimated work done, but not invoiced, was $30, In an effort to meet budgeted earnings targets, the division manager ordered excess assets to be sold during the fourth quarter, realizing a profit of $40, In December, with the division straining to meet budgeted earnings targets, the division changed its method of depreciation for plant and equipment from accelerated to straight-line resulting in an adjustment of over $100,000 to current year earnings. The firm's auditor indicates this change is in full compliance with GAAP. Ethics Survey Survey adapted from a 1990 Management Accounting article by Bruns and Merchant.
