Sunnyvale Loan Company is in the consumer loan business. Sunnyvale borrows from banks and loans out the money at higher interest rates. Sunnyvale’s bank requires Sunnyvale to submit quarterly financial statements to keep its line of credit. Sunnyvale’s main asset is Notes Receivable. Therefore, Uncollectible-Account Expense and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts are important accounts for the company. Kimberly Burnham, the company’s owner, prefers that net income reflect a steady increase in a smooth pattern, rather than an increase in some periods and a decrease in other periods. To report smoothly increasing net income, Burnham underestimates Uncollectible-Account Expense in some periods. In other periods, Burnham overestimates the expense. She reasons that the income overstatements roughly off set the income understatements over time. Requirements 1. What is the ethical issue in this situation? 2. Who are the stakeholders?
