& REPORTING
Enterprises in Financial Difficulty. Business Failure 13° & comon
phenorenon in a free enterprise company. It may be due to a variety of reasons
Such as. incompetent management, poor operating control, inadequate financing,
‘oF other Unexpected adverse developments. Among the inevitable symptoms of
rusiness failure 1s a shortaye cf funds or a lack of liquidity, which results in
the enteprige’s inability to meet .*» current obligations as they become due.
Laquidsty. Liquidity reters wainly to a firm's ability to meet its short~
term obligations, while solveicy relates to the longer time span of obligation.
Both of these situations are interrelated. An auditor who examines the financial
statements of an enterprise with a history of losses and resulting financial
Gifficulties and which may even be in default of loan agreement covenants must,
‘at some point, evaluate the enterprise's ability to survive financially. If there
is evidence that the ability of the enterprise to continue as a going concern can
no longer be safely assumed, the audizcr may have to qualify his or her opinion,
Or, in sone cases disclaim en opinion.
Insolvency. A business enterprize can be insolvent in the conventional (or
equity) sense when it is unable ic pay off its liabilities as they become due.
The enterprise is insolvent in the :egal sense when the financial condition is
such that the sum of the eatity's debcs is greater than all of such entity’
property at fair valuation. Thus, in the legal sense, an enterprise remains
Solvent as long as the fair valve of its assets exceeds its liabilities, even
though the enterprise cannot mect its current maturing obligations because of an
insufficiency of Jiquid resources.
Liguidations. When the financral position of the debtor is such that it
cannot resolve its financial difficulties by any of the following quess~
reorganization, troubled-debt restructu:ing, and dacion-en-pago accounting, the
corporation will have to resort to a liquidation. This process may be started by
the debtor filing a debtor's voluntary petition or creditor’s involuntary
petition.
Trustee in Bankruptoy. The duties of the trustee in liquidations are
similar to those in a reorganization except that the focus is on a realization of
Gosets. and a liquidation of, Liabilities rather than on preservation and
Continuation of business. In addition, the trustee must assume control over the
assets of the debtor, convert assets into cash, and liquidate the business
Cnpeditiously ae is compatible with the best interests of affected parties. In
the course liquidation, the trustee may continue business activities, if that is
in the interest of ar orderly liquidation.
‘Acoounting and Reporting for Liquidation. The basic focus of accounting
for a bankrupt is that of @ “quittiag concern” rather than a “going concern,”
Gnich is the usual assumption in accounting, The statement that has been devised
for that purpose is the statenent of eftairs, which is hypothetical or pro-forma
int hature and. which represents the best estimate on the outcome of the
Liquidation of a debtor's business.
Basic Reports Prepared in Corporate Liquidation:
i Statement of Affaire, This statencnt is prepared as of a given point in time
for a business enterprise entering dato the stage of liquidation. The
purpose of this statement is to display the essets and liabilities and of
Che debtor enterprise from a liquidation viewpoint, because liquidation is
the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings. Thus, assets displayed in the
Statement of affairs are valued at current fair values; carrying amounts are
presented on 2 memorandum basis,
2. Statement of Realization and Liquidation. This is an activity statement that
is intended to show progress, i.e., actual transactions toward the
Liquidation of a debtor's estate, ts original purpose is to inform the
pankeuptcy court and interested creditors of the accomplishments of the
trustee.
che Statement of Realisation and Liquidation differs from the statement of
Affaire in the following respects:
i. ‘The statement of realization and liquidation reports the actual
Liquidation results. In contrast, the statement of affairs is of « pro-
forma nature and is bused cn estimates rather than actual results.
2. The statenent of realization and liquidation provides an oagoieg
reporting of the trustes’s activities ond is updated throughout the
Liguidstioa procass. The statement of affairs is s summary of the
‘estimated results cf a completed Liquidation. 03ADVANCED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING 6 REPORTING page 2
