The financial statements of some related organizations are combined with those of hospitals, while the financial statements of …

A number of methods have been developed whereby an entity finances inventory of product or materials without reporting in its balance sheet the liability or the related inventory. For example, a company transfers ("sells") a product to another party and simultaneously agrees to repurchase the product at a specified price over a specified period. For transactions of that type, the accounting standards division believes guidance is necessary to determine whether the company that "sells" the product and simultaneously agrees to repurchase the product has, in substance, transferred all the risks and rewards of ownership of the product.

Also, management should indicate that its responsibility for the financial statements includes making judgments and estimates and selecting accounting principles that are in accordance with …
