Data Annual Form 10-k

Overview Accountants must be familiar with the amount of data required in the Annual Form 10-K filing and the Annual Proxy filing for publicly traded companies because they will use the data from these filings to research a company’s competitors. Accountants can even use the data from these filings in their personal life to research investment opportunities. Scenario In this milestone, you will prepare a valuation for a 1% minority shareholder on the assumption that your company is a “going concern” company, meaning that the company will be able to pay its financial obligations as needed for the foreseeable future. Directions In this milestone, you will provide a brief history and overview of the company you selected. Use your company’s most recent Form 10-K filing and SEC Annual Proxy filing from The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) website to gather the information described in the rubric criteria.

Consider the following questions to guide your response: How long has the company been in business? Who was the original founder of the company? What significant changes to company leadership have occurred? How has the company changed since its beginning? Consider expansion of locations or products/services, etc. Identify all of the company’s major locations for their facilities and/or other properties. Identify all of the customers recognized by the company. List all of the names of the executive management team of the company. Identify all of the competition recognized by the company. Identify all of the major shareholders of the company. Describe business risks recognized by the company. Explain how the company is committed to environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts and sustainability. Describe the company’s leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) status. Consider the following questions to guide your response: Is the company currently LEED certified? If the company is not currently LEED certificated, is it working toward becoming LEED certified? Summary Summarize your findings for the valuation team. Include the following details in your response: Explain what you learned as you researched the company. Identify the key points the valuation team needs to be aware of. Create at least one effective visualization that supports key points. Include the following detail in your response: Provide appropriate labels for the visualization(s). If you need writing support, access the Academic Support module of your course. What to Submit Submit the Business Valuation Template with the Milestone One: Introduction section completed. The Introduction section should be an additional 4- to 6-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins in addition to the current page count. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Note: You will be using this same file throughout all the milestones and your project. Supporting Materials The following resources support your work on this assignment: Website: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission This website allows users to search for a publicly traded company and find their published financial statements. Use this website to find your company’s 10-K filing.

Unethical or Fraudulent Behavior

Choose the company name Tesla Amazon Netflix Starbucks JetBlue Walt Disney Proctor & Gamble In your initial post, introduce yourself and address the following: Select the company you'd like to focus on for your project. Summarize an article about unethical and/or fraudulent activity on your selected company. Include the following details in your response: Include the citation. If you can't find unethical or fraudulent activity, review the legal proceedings section of the company's 10-K and summarize one of the lawsuits described there. Explain how the unethical and/or fraudulent activity or lawsuit was resolved and whether it could have been prevented. Part 2 In your responses to two peers, be sure to address the following: If your peer posted an article on unethical and/or fraudulent activity, explain how the accounting department could have prevented the unethical and/or fraudulent activity that happened in the article your peer shared. If your peer posted a lawsuit, explain the potential impact of the lawsuit on its customers and organization as a whole. First respond. Hi everyone, my name is Gagandeep Singh, and I am an accounting student. For this course project, I chose to focus on Amazon because it is a very large company that has faced ethical and legal issues in its business operations. The article I reviewed talks about how Amazon admitted there was a risk of fraud on its platform from counterfeit products being sold by sellers. These fake and counterfeit goods broke the trust of customers, brand owners, and Amazon shareholders since it ruins the trust of the company supplying these items and the shareholders who invest into this company. The article explains that Amazon did not do enough to stop these counterfeit products, which caused concerns about ethics and consumer protection (Brachmann, 2019). Amazon increased efforts to remove counterfeit sellers and fake products from its platform by investing more money into fraud detection systems and brand protection programs. The issue could have been prevented earlier if Amazon had stronger controls and processes of verification in place before allowing sellers to list products. The way to make sure this doesn't happen in the future is to have better monitoring and stricter seller approval processes. Reference Brachmann, S. (2019). Amazon admits to fraud risk: Counterfeiting woes affect shareholders, brand owners and consumers. Inventors’ Digest. Second respond My name is Matt, and I am a junior at Southern New Hampshire University. I am 21 years old and currently pursuing a degree in business-related studies with an interest in accounting and financial analysis. I am looking forward to developing a deeper understanding of earnings quality and ethical financial reporting throughout this course. For my ACC 345 project, I have selected Tesla, Inc. as the company I will be focusing on. Tesla has experienced rapid growth and strong market performance in recent years, but it has also been involved in several ethical and legal controversies that raise questions about earnings quality and corporate governance. A recent article published by Reuters discusses allegations related to Tesla’s marketing and disclosures surrounding its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) technologies. According to the article, U.S. regulators, including the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, have investigated whether Tesla made misleading statements to consumers and investors by overstating the capabilities of its driver-assistance systems. These claims raised ethical concerns because exaggerated or misleading disclosures could influence investor decisions and artificially support stock prices, thereby impacting earnings quality (Shepardson, 2023). The issue has not yet been fully resolved, as investigations were ongoing at the time of publication. However, Tesla has updated some of its disclosures and marketing language to clarify that its vehicles do not offer fully autonomous driving. This situation may have been prevented through stronger internal controls, more conservative public disclosures, and clearer communication with regulators and consumers. Transparent reporting and ethical marketing practices are essential to maintaining investor trust and ensuring that reported earnings reflect the company’s true financial performance.
