Pr Communication Memo
Press Release for Recent Organizational Change at Starbucks, Inc.

Our Chief Financial Officer has suddenly resigned and when reviewing his financials that were prepared certain questions arose to his handling of the company’s financials.

Ongoing studies are being conducted to conclude if further actions should be taken.

This research of our financials have been taken into consideration for some time now, we feel that they have been reported correctly in the amounts just not in the timing. This is throwing off our dividends and our monthly and quarterly reports.

This press release is to notify all of our stockholders, suppliers, and creditors that our company is still stable. We are looking into legal actions to take against our former CFO after a case is built. Our company is still operational and we are working hard to regain the trust that has been broken. We are cooperating with the SEC and will issue another press release within a week of their findings.

Please feel free to contact our hotline with any further questions, 1-866-555-STBK.

    I am writing you this memo in compliance with the mandatory mediation requirements issued by the court. I would first like to state to you my stance in this case. I have been dealing with this particular vendor for about six months now. The business relationship started after my wife and I visited Mrs. Doe’s Sunday school class in Huntsville, Alabama. I was there in support of my wife and to explore the Christian religion, but in small talk Mrs. Doe informed me of her family’s grape vineyard and the value of a certain natural product they produced. My natural herb store was in need of some new products for my customers so I agreed to try Mrs. Doe’s product in my store.…

    These two practices were GAAP, which stands for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and GAAS, which stands for Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Creditability was the basic foundation for both of these principles, but had to be enforced with the Sarbanes Oxley Act when corporate scandals became prevalent. In order to gain a better understanding of SOX, which has superseded the rules of GAAS and GAAP, an analysis was conducted on four issues that relate to the Act. The four issues at hand are: the CEO’s and CFO’s of public companies, Section 404 on internal control, the main advantages and disadvantages, and what changes should be made to SOX. Finally, a discussion about how legislation cannot guarantee the accuracy of public financial statements will be examined. Along with this issue, Team Nitpickers will dig deeper and look into reasons as to why CEO’s and CFO’s are paying closer attention to this law.…

    If I had been an accountant for this company I would have questioned the debt earlier before it became so far in debt that it was very hard for them to recover, also I would have been checking the books constantly and compared books to prior years. With a company that big they should have had many people keeping track of their books. I know the CFO was very much involved and can change the records but the scandal did not happen in just one year they could have been checking books from prior years.…

    Contacting the CFO of Bilco is a direct violation by Cupertino, as he is reaching beyond his scope as an internal auditor. He has no reason to actively involve himself in United Thermostatic Controls’ operations, when a key part of his position is to remain objective. His actions clearly show that he is not being objective in analyzing the company’s financial standing. As with any company, if he had information or suggestions to share there is a proper protocol on who he should reach out to. A competent auditor would be well aware of that such behavior goes against the integrity he should hold with upmost importance.…
