    According to (Oster, 2014), "Percentage of receivables and percentage of sales are two accounting allowance methods used to reconcile customer accounts deemed noncollectable. When allowed by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), these two strategies are preferred over direct write-off of bad debt expenses. Percentage of receivables and percentage of sales provide a business with the ability to accurately estimate the expected bad debt losses they will have in each succeeding fiscal reporting period." Percentage of sales method is a good way to see an estimate for bad allowance under the Henerally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).For GAAP it does not allow a direct write off method. Percentage of receivables is accounted for on the balance sheet that is annually done. There are doubtful accounts that have to be accounted for in the journal.…

The code of conduct clearly states that all staff members are required to adhere to the laws, and act on good judgment. Kickbacks are illegal and deemed unethical in the United States. Kickbacks, sometimes referred to as bribery, are payments given or received with the intention of influencing another to gain from a situation and/or transaction. In the medical industry, doctors are often given samples from pharmaceutical companies to give to patients. This practice is common and is not illegal. However, when the doctor agrees to prescribe a particular medication or refer a particular specialist doctor and in exchange for a return, this is where the illegal process begins. In the Amgen 2009 case, the biotech company offered kickback to medical providers to boost sales. Pharmaceutical representatives influenced physicians to bill Medicaid for the anemia drug Aranesp, which were given free. The company made a profit of $15 million from the top-selling drug in exchange for giving doctors expense paid vacations (Zimmerman, 2009). Medicaid, a health program paid by taxpayers, not only had to pay for the medication billed, but for the bills for the problems the medication caused the patients.…
