process of tracking the interest accrued to date. Each month the amount of the accrual is
reversed, becoming a negative amount in the Interest Income account. Thus, whatever
This case offers rich material for discussion. First, students are usually eager to discuss
the type of business, the nature of loans, and the method of financing sales. Second,
many students will suggest the development of a computer program in which each loan
is entered along with its duration, amount, and interest rate. The program would auto-
matically compute the accrued interest each month and keep track of the amount ac-
the effort and cost of doing so, but the cost is usually more than offset by the valuable
information the financial statements provide management, investors, and creditors, such

year. Although such interim procedures are usually not as extensive as the year-end pro-
cedures, they must still be done with care to produce financial statements that reflect
generally accepted accounting principles.

final frantic push for sales.
CVS ends its fiscal year on December 31 in 2011. There are several advantages to choos-
ing this date for the end of the fiscal year. First, inventory levels are low, which makes
counting the inventory less costly. Second, it coordinates well with the business's natural
error by introducing another error. The consequences to the individual and the company
