formed company that manages residential rental properties. Linda Grider is
the accountant. She prepared a chart of accounts based on an analysis of
the expenditures of the company. Two of the largest expense categories are
Travel and Entertainment. Mr. Coleman believes that it is important to
maintain a presence in the social life of the city. In this, he sharply differs
from his father, Jim Coleman, Sr. The elder Mr. Coleman has set up Maris
Properties in order to test his son's management skills before allowing him
to manage the more lucrative commercial property business. Mr. Coleman,
Sr. provided the capital for Maris, and maintains close contact with the
company. He allowed his son, however, to hire his own employees.
Mr. Coleman has asked Ms. Grider to change the names of the Travel and
Entertainment Expense accounts to Property Development. He hopes to
deflect his father's attention away from the amount he has spent on travel
and entertainment until he has proven that his methods work. When Ms.
Grider resisted, he reminded her that he, not his father, hired her. He also
reminded her that she had been enthusiastic about his business plans when
she was hired.
1> Who are the stakeholders in this situation?
2> Should Ms. Grider agree to the change in the Travel Expense and
Entertainment Expense accounts to Property Development? Explain.
