Accounting is a highly technical andvast fieldof study and, the cornerstonefor analyzing financialstatements and taxreturns. BANKERS INSIGHT GROUP, LLC 1 Improved analytical skills starts with having a good working knowledge of accounting. Once you understand how financial statements are constructed, it makes it easier for you to analyze and understand the results. After all, would you consider taking your car in for repairs to an auto mechanic who tells you, "I would love to fix your car, but I don't know how the engine works .... " How can you analyze financial statements and tax returns if you do not know how they are constructed? ACCOUNTING DEFINED Accounting is the process of identifying, measuring, and communicating economic information to permit informed judgments and decisions by the users of the information. It is the "language" employed to communicate financial information and is primarily concerned with the design of the system of records, the preparation of reports based on the recorded data, and the interpretation of the reports. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES {GAAP): GAAP is the rules financial accountants must follow when entering accounting transactions and preparing financial statements. Financial accountants cannot just throw numbers on the income statement, balance sheet, or statement of cash flows; Rather, a level playing field must exist between businesses so that the individuals reading the financial statements can compare one company to another. THE ACCOUNTING EQUATION Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity The Accounting Equation simply states that all assets on the balance sheet are supported by a combination of funds borrowed or owed to creditors plus the amount of funds invested into the entity by the owners. After each economic event is recorded into the records of an economic entity, the Accounting Equation must always balance after the transaction is documented. This will ensure that the Balance Sheet Assets will equal the Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity including the results of the Income Statement, which should be reflected in Retained Earnings. Bottom Line: "The equation must always be in balance". This Pre-Course Case Study will demonstrate how financial statements are constructed from journal entries into a full set of financial statements. To aid in the completion of this Case Study, BAN KERS iNSIGHT GROU P, LLC 2 the Rules of Debits and Credits shown below should be reviewed. These rules apply to all Economic Entities without any exceptions. After becoming familiar with the Rules of Debits and Credits Chart, please proceed to the Case Study and follow the instructions.

Please record each transaction utilizing the enclosed journal worksheets. The first journal worksheet contains accounts representing the asset section of the balance sheet while the second journal worksheet represents accounts found on the liabilities, capital and income statement portion of the balance sheet. As you read each transaction below, please record the financial event onto the worksheet insuring you are debiting and crediting the proper accounts. Please Note that you will not see every account on the journal worksheet. For example, you will not see an accounts for Interest or Rent Expense therefore, transactions involving these accounts should be placed in the Operating Expense column of the journal worksheet. As you enter transactions, indicate debits and credits utilizing either a plus or minus sign. Also, be mindful of the Accounting Equation (Assets = Liabilities + Net Worth), which means that each recorded transaction should result in this Equation remaining in balance. After all transactions are entered, total each column at the bottom of the worksheet journals for each account and transfer the the data into the 2019 column of the balance sheet and income statement for the company. Then, repeat entering the data into the 2019 column assuming the company utilizes a LIFO Inventory costing method. The goal of this case study is to demonstrate how financial statements are created and creating a balance sheet that balances (Remember: A = L + NW). Good Luck!

  • Rent Expense Analysis for Companies in the S&P
    Rent Expense Analysis for Companies in the S&P 500 Executive Summary In this paper, Savills Studley analyzes rent expense for companies in the S&P 500. We explore trends by industry on both an individual company and aggregate basis. We find that while companies are largely spending more on rent in absolute dollar terms, rent expense as a percentage of total operating expense and revenue has fallen. How Much Do Companies Spend on Rent? A Look at Companies in the S&P 500 How much do companies spend on rent? Have companies’ changes in rent expenditures been commensurate with their change in revenue, and more broadly, headcount? Have companies’ occupancy costs fallen as a percentage of operating expenses? Rent Expense Analysis 2 for Companies in the S&P 500 To answer these questions, we drew from publicly available data for the S&P 500 and analyzed reported-rent expense.1 We evaluated data from the first full year of recovery post-recession (fiscal year 2010) alongside the most recent fiscal year (2016). In total, 397 companies spanning 9 different sectors were analyzed. (More detail on our methodology is included in the Appendix.) While we compared industry-aggregated data across just two points in time, we were able to make several meaningful conclusions about how companies have adjusted their rent expense in the context of their growth in revenue and employment. We caveat our findings by noting the limitations of the data: many companies lease not only their real estate, but also their equipment. Because rental expense is not broken down by type of asset, we were unable to distinguish between those expenses directly tied to occupancy costs and those that were not.

  • Part 3 Cash Flow Statement
    Part 3 Cash Flow Statement Slide # 1 Cash Flow Statement The Cash Flow Statement is the second statement you will complete, since it draws information from the Income Statement and provides information for the Balance Sheet. The ChCash Flow Sta temen t summarizes the cash actlltually entitering and lileaving the company over a period of time. Slide # 2 Cash Flow Statement How is Cash different from Net Income? All companies have at least one non‐cash expense, which is depreciation. For companies that allow accounts receivable, revenues may be recorded without a cash inflow. Likewise with accounts payable, expenses can be deducted from Net Income without a cash outflow. Additionally, Net Income reflects activity for a period of time but does not indicate how much cash was available at the start of the period. Therefore, Net Income is not the same as Cash. Example: Cash Adjustment for Depreciation If you’re working on a cash‐basis, how much of a difference could there really be between Net Income and cash? Consider this example. A newspaper company spends $250,000 in cash on a new printing press. Using a 10‐year depreciation schedule, the only expense subtracted from Net Income for the year is $25,000 in depreciation. However, cash reserves have been reduced by the full $250,000 cost. If you looked only at Net Income, you might think the company’ s cash balance is $225,000 higher than it really is. Slide # 3 Cash Flow Statement Why do you care about the cash balance? Companies only continue operating only while there is cash to pay suppliers and employees.

There are also indirect costs resulting from the purchase and sale of securities, such as trading commissions. Another lesser-studied element of hedge fund costs, and the focus of this review, are a hedge fund’s operating expenses. Therefore, the all-in total costs associated with hedge fund investing can be broken down into headline fees (management fee and performance fees), and indirect costs such as trading commissions and operating expenses. Over the life of an investment, the total economic impact of headline fees will be the largest cost to an investor, but investors should also consider the economic impact of operating expenses. The purpose of this review is to analyze hedge fund operating expenses to provide investors a better understanding of the all-in costs associated with hedge fund investing. The research outlines the basics of hedge fund operating expenses and presents the potential long-term impact to investors’ performance. Additionally, the review can 1) serve as a benchmarking tool for investors comparing fees across their manager roster, 2) assist hedge fund managers interested in benchmarking operating costs, and 3) support hedge fund stakeholders with manager selection.
