Section 1: Summary of Enron Case:
The Enron controversy included the Enron Corporation, an American energy firm with
headquarters in Houston, Texas. Following the company's bankruptcy filing, which was made
public in October 2001, Arthur Andersen, one of the top five audit and accounting teams in the
world at the time, virtually ceased to exist. Enron was noted as the biggest audit failure at the
time in addition to being the biggest insolvency reorganization in U.S. history.
Kenneth Lay merged Houston Natural Gas and InterNorth to create Enron in 1985. Lay created a
team of executives that, through the use of accounting irregularities, special purpose
corporations, and inadequate financial reporting, were able to conceal billions of dollars in debt
from failing ventures and projects a few years ago, when Jeffrey Skilling was hired. Andrew
Fastow, the chief financial officer of Enron, and other executives deceived the audit committee
and board of directors about high-risk accounting procedures and put pressure on Arthur
Andersen to disregard the problems.
Revenue Recognition: Enron and other energy providers made money by building and
maintaining power stations, natural gas pipelines, warehousing, and processing facilities in
addition to offering services like market trading and risk management. Merchants are permitted
to record the market value as revenues and the costs of the commodities sold when they accept
the risk of purchasing and selling goods. An "agent," in contrast, offers the consumer a service
but does not take on the same hazards as merchants when buying and selling. When categorized
as agents, service providers may declare trading and brokerage charges as revenue, though not
for the complete transaction value.
Between 1996 and 2000, Enron's revenues increased by more than 750%, rising from $13.3
billion in 1996 to $100.7 billion in 2000. This expansion of 65% per year was extraordinary in
any industry, including the energy industry, which typically considered growth of 2–3% per year
to be respectable. For just the first nine months of 2001, Enron reported $138.7 billion in
revenues.
Special Purpose Entities: To conceal its debt, Enron formed hundreds of fake businesses.
Sponsors established shell corporations, while private equity investors and loan finance provided
the funding. In its tax shelters for the Thomas and Condor deals, the company used partnerships;
for the Apache deal, financial asset securitization investment trusts (FASITs); and for the
Cochise acquisition, REMICs and REITs.
After the stock price of Enron fell to less than $1 by the end of November 2001, from a high of
US$90.75 per share in mid-2000, shareholders sued for $40 billion. As the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) launched an inquiry, Dynegy, a rival corporation from Houston,
made a very low-ball bid to buy the business. After the sale fell through, Enron went into
bankruptcy under the US Bankruptcy Code on December 2, 2001. Up until the WorldCom crisis
the following year, Enron's $63.4 billion in assets making it the biggest corporate bankruptcy in
American history.
Prosecutions against numerous Enron executives resulted in a number of them receiving prison
sentences, including Lay and Skilling. As a result of Arthur Andersen's conviction for
improperly destroying records related to the SEC inquiry, the company's authorization to audit
public firms was revoked, thus forcing its closure. When the decision was reversed by the U.S.
Supreme Court, Arthur Andersen had already lost most of its clients and was no longer in
business. Despite suffering billion-dollar losses in annuities and stock values, Enron's employees
and stockholders only won modest compensation from lawsuits.
New laws and regulations were passed as a result of the scandal to increase the reliability of
financial statements for public firms. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, one bit of legislation, enhanced
the penalties for falsifying, destroying, or manipulating records in the course of government
investigations or for trying to mislead shareholders. The law enhanced the obligation for auditing
companies to maintain their objectivity and independence from their clients

a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event (the obligating
event),
payment is probable ('more likely than not'), and
the amount can be estimated reliably.
An obligating event is an event that creates a legal or constructive obligation and, therefore,
results in an entity having no realistic alternative but to settle the obligation. [IAS 37.10]
A constructive obligation arises if past practice creates a valid expectation on the part of a third
party, for example, a retail store that has a long-standing policy of allowing customers to return
merchandise within, say, a 30-day period. [IAS 37.10]
A possible obligation (a contingent liability) is disclosed but not accrued. However, disclosure is
not required if payment is remote. [IAS 37.86]
In rare cases, for example in a lawsuit, it may not be clear whether an entity has a present
obligation. In those cases, a past event is deemed to give rise to a present obligation if, taking
account of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that a present obligation exists at the
balance sheet date. A provision should be recognized for that present obligation if the other
recognition criteria described above are met. If it is more likely than not that no present
obligation exists, the entity should disclose a contingent liability, unless the possibility of an
outflow of resources is remote. [IAS 37.15]
The amount recognized as a provision should be the best estimate of the expenditure required to
settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, that is, the amount that an entity would
rationally pay to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date or to transfer it to a third party.
[IAS 37.36] This means:
In reaching its best estimate, the entity should consider the risks and uncertainties that surround
the underlying events. [IAS 37.42]
Contingent Liabilities:
Since there is common ground as regards liabilities that are uncertain, IAS 37 also deals with
contingencies. It requires that entities should not recognize contingent liabilities – but should
disclose them, unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is remote. [IAS 37.86]
Contingent Assets:
Contingent assets should not be recognized – but should be disclosed where an inflow of
economic benefits is probable. When the realization of income is virtually certain, then the
related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate. [IAS 37.31-35]
FEKDIL has just disclosed provision in its Annual Report (Annual Report, page-61, notes-
7.20 – 3rd para) but there is no record of contingent assets and contingent liabilities.
Comment
The current ratio is a ratio that compares all of a company's current assets to all of its current
liabilities. It is calculated as in most cases, they are assets that are cash or that will be converted
into cash in a year or less, as well as obligations that will be paid in a year or less, respectively.
Company current ratio is low, which indicates that company will have a tough time meeting your
immediate obligations such as debt and liabilities. As a rule of thumb, a current ratio of one or
above is considered favorable, and anything less than one is considered cause for concern. Here
we see in 2021 and 2022 both year company ratio3.58 and 3.13 is good enough. We see that
company current ration is more then one which indicate company healthy financial performance.
Comment
The quick ratio is believed to be a more conservative indicator than the current ratio, which
includes all current assets as a measure of their ability to pay for future liabilities. The higher the
result of the ratio test, the better a firm's liquidity and financial health. the lower the result of the
ratio test, the more likely it is that the company will difficulty paying its debts. Here we can see
in 2020 company quick ratio 2.00 which indicate better a firm's liquidity and financial health. On
the other hand, in 2021 company quick ratio is 0.85 which is low and that indicate in this year
company suffer and they face difficulty paying its debts.
Section 7: Debt to Asset ratio
Comment
The debt to total assets ratio is an indicator of a company's financial leverage. It tells you the
percentage of a company's total assets that were financed by creditors. In other words, it is
the total amount of a company's liabilities divided by the total amount of the company's
assets.
The ratio of debt to assets is a very important way to figure out how financially risky a
company is. A ratio greater than 1 means that a lot of the company's assets are paid for by
debt, which means the company is more likely to go bankrupt. So, the safer a company is,
the lower the ratio. Here we see company Debt to asset ratio in 2020 was 0.01997 and in
2021 ratio was 0.023 which is less then 1 that means company’s assets are paid for by debt,
which means the company is more likely to go bankrupt.
The debt-to-equity ratio is used to figure out how well a company can pay its bills. It basically
shows how healthy a company is as a whole. If the debt-to-equity ratio is high, more money
is being lent to the company at the risk of losing it. If the potential debts are too high, there
is a chance that the company will go out of business. A low debt-to-equity ratio is preferred
by many investors and lenders because it protects their interests. If business is going down.
So here we in 2020 and 2021 debt-to-equity ratio was 0.0275 and 0.0324.
P/E ratios are used by investors and analysts to compare the value of a company's shares to the
value of the shares of another company. It can also be used to compare how a company is doing
now to how it was doing in the past, or to compare how different markets are doing now
compared to how they were doing in the past.
We can see that the company ratio in 2020 is 1.78, indicating that their current stock price was
not so high relative to earnings when compared to their EPS. However, its P/E ratio was
increased to 2.73 in 2021. That's not so positive indicator for the business.
After analysis company ratio, here we see company need to improve their quick ratio because in
2021 their quick ratio very low. So, if company Control overhead expenses and change their
payment cycle it is help to improve their quick ratio health. Also, company need to work with
debt to asset ratio because this ratio very low. The company can raise sales and revenue without
increasing operating expenses. Increased sales can reduce debt and enhance the debt-to-assets
ratio. They also need improve P/E ratios their when a company pays dividends, its P/E ratio can
go up.
