Abstract:

This case highlights accounting manipulations, in areas of reserves and lease accounting, as viewed through SEC documents related to the KPMG audit failure of Xerox 1997-2000. Referenced online citations provide flexibility in the use of the case. We present the original causes and eventual consequences, and update for enacted changes in auditing standards and authoritative guidance, including current efforts to address lease accounting in the IFRS and US GAAP convergence. A set of questions are included; teaching notes contain the actual outcome of the case. The case is appropriate for anyone who wishes to review a well-documented audit failure.
