Job Duty 8 - Provide industry specific accounting services through reporting on the health of the network’s assets with semi-annual ASC 820 valuations (by FASB, Fair Value Measurement). (5% of weekly work hour). 1point 3 acres
Relevant Courses & Content
OPRE 6301 Quantitative Introduction to Risk and Uncertainty in Business: focuses on statistical and probabilistic methods and theory applicable to situations faced by managers. Topics include data presentation and summarization, fundamental probability theory and random variables, estimation, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing.
AIM 6332 Intermediate Accounting II: specific topic on applying fair value options in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) rule with respect to the company's investment assets and appropriate classifications of gross realized and unrealized holding gains/ loss on financial statement presentations.
Service & Skills . Χ
Our company evaluates investment portfolios at fair market value and review its changes semi-annually. The process to apply fair value measurement in accordance with GAAP is very technical. The key to this job duty is to correctly appraise asset value. OPRE 6301 discussed different valuation models that we also adopt for appraisal purpose. The beneficiary could (1) build and evaluate a regression model from raw data, (2) apply rules of probability and random variable, and (3) analyze significant changes of asset values at work. Within GAAP, ASC 820 is specifically relevant because it deals with accounting issues of investment assets valuation. Topic of fair value option for investment instrument (ASC 820) was covered in AIM 6332. By finishing this course, she is able to apply GAAP reporting standard of fair value changes, conduct income/ market/ asset approach for measurement, and perform a goodwill impairment test when the investment asset’s book value exceeds market value. She will report the fair value analysis to the management, so they could determine how to allocate fair value to various investment asset classes.-baidu 1point3acres
8. Work sample – 这回我提供了对应其中4个工作jd的12个样本,每个jd相关的样本集中在一起有一个cover 分别解释每个样本是有啥作用。我把这个cover尽量控制在3段落,不要太长,把详细的作用解释出来就是了。Cover 实例如下:
Work products Entity Set-up Roadmap (Doc 10), Chart of Accounts for Balance Sheet (Doc 11) and Income Statement (Doc 12) relates to
Job Duty 6 - Establish chart of accounts and assign entries to proper accounts.
The roadmap is a high-level planning created by the senior accountant. It depicts the nature of business – commercial real estate leasing. The chart of accounts will be tailored to the roadmap. .--
When establishing the chart of accounts, she will consider GAAP rule and tax implications. For example, a commercial real estate includes CAM (common area management) receivables account that is unique in the business. The IRS requires lease commissions to be capitalized and amortized over the length of lease. . ----
The chart will serve as a manual, and direct accounting clerk to post journal entries to correct accounts for all transactions.
