Position Paper Written Assignment

A position paper is a document you could present to a legislator to seek support for an issue you endorse. Present your position on a current health-care issue in a one-page paper, following the assignment guidelines below. You can select your issue topic from newspapers, national news magazine articles, professional journals, or professional association literature; and this can be the topic you choose for your ethical issues debate.

Your position paper should:

  • Be quickly and easily understood.
  • Be succinct and clear.
  • Appear very professional with the legislator’s name and title on top and your name and your credentials at the bottom.
  • Condense essential information in one, single-spaced page, excluding the title and reference list pages.
  • Be written using correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and APA format.
  • Clearly describe the issue that you are addressing in the opening paragraph.
  • Include 3–4 bullet points regarding why you are seeking the legislator’s vote, support, or opposition. Bullet points should be clear and concise but not repetitive and should reflect current literature that substantiates your position.
  • Summarize the implications for the nursing profession and/or patients.
  • Conclude with two recommendations that you wish to see happen related to your issue, such as a vote for or against, a change in policy, or the introduction of new legislation.
  • Use APA format (6th ed.), correct grammar, and references as appropriate.

The literature you cite must be from peer-reviewed journals and primary source information. You may use this paper as preliminary research for your ethical issues debate project that occurs in weeks 4-7.

Groupon-IPO-Case-Analysis

/in /by

Answer following 6 questions one by one:

1. Compare and contrast the business model of Groupon with the business models of Amazon and Wal-Mart. Referring to the risk factors in the MD&A sections of their 10-Ks, compare significant risks and opportunities across these companies. How do these business risks translate to risks in financial reporting?

2. In the months leading up to Groupon’s IPO, the SEC posed a number of questions regarding Groupon’s choice of accounting principles for revenue recognition. Specifically, the SEC referred to the requirements in FASB’s ASC 605-45-45.

a. Compare the amount of revenue reported in the original and amended S-1s. What caused the difference?

b. Which of the two amounts do you think Groupon preferred? Why did they prefer it?

c. With reference to ASC 605-45-45, which of Groupon’s arguments were weak, and why?

3. Groupon had recognized revenue for the sale of high-ticket items in late 2011. Purchasers of the Groupons have a right of return, as specified in the ‘‘Groupon Promise,’’ prominently featured on its website.

a. Assess the U.S. GAAP requirement for recognition of revenue when right of return exists, in the context of Groupon’s business model.

b. Do you agree with Groupon’s accounting? Why or why not?

4. Groupon’s restatement of 2011 fourth-quarter financials resulted in a reduction of $14.3 million of revenues and a decrease of $30 million of operating income. However, its operating cash flow was unaffected. Explain how this is possible.

5. In your opinion, do the problems with Groupon’s choice of accounting methods and use of non-GAAP metric reflect a lack of management experience or a lack of management integrity?

6. In its initial S-1 filing, Groupon presented a non-GAAP performance metric called ACSOI. It was subsequently removed after the SEC objected.

a. Why did the SEC question the inclusion of ACSOI in Groupon’s financial statements?

b. Non-GAAP metrics are common in some industries. These include: Value-at-Risk in the financial sector, same-store-sales in retail, revenue-passenger-miles for airlines, and order-backlog in the semiconductor industry. Explain two of these metrics and assess their value to financial statement users.
