Best Answer

Most auditors prefer to use before-tax net earnings instead of after-tax net earnings when calculating materiality based on income statement chiefly because it eliminates the impact of external influences (ie. Changes in tax laws, changes in the tax rates etc.) that could have a significant impact on a company`s net earnings and subsequently the net income materiality base.

Yes, but not too much of a backlog. If the backlog becomes too high, schedules break down and companies lose money, so they prefer a backlog of manageable size.


What questions do they ask you when you have to call to first activate a credit card?

I have received my first credit card recently. I did not call to activate my card, instead I went to the card company's site and activated it online. But I would imagine that if on the phone, they'd ask you a short series of security questions such as your social security number, mother's maiden name, etc. before allowing it to become active. There's always the net. If you prefer not to talk to a live representative, like myself, I'd recommend checking out the website of the credit card you've received. The process is just as fast, and there's no annoying telemarketer to deal with! Hope this helps.


Do you need your w-2 to do your taxes?

Last year, I used my final paycheck stub to file more than two weeks before I actually received my W-2 as Food Lion LLC waits until the last possible day to mail them out. It was on suggestion from my friend and I received my federal return before my W-2 got to me. My VA state return took into mid-February to receive, but it was also filed at the same time. In other words, no, you do not need your W-2, so long as you have an old one so you know you're employer's EIN (Employee Identification Number). Though some people prefer to wait, I prefer to do mine quickly as I get a significant and much needed refund each year.
