A high Acid test is significant, current liabilities are short-term debts including accounts payable, other related expenses, and accrued salaries; if economic conditions continue to plunge, Competition Bikes must recognize their ability to meet these direct needs or not. The Acid Test ratio in the analysis illustrates year 7 at 4.52 while year 8 sits at 4.25. Due to the acceptable acid test ratio is .90 to 1.00 for most industries, it is benign to assume the high figures Competition Bikes’ analysis shows is strength and fortified enough to pay liabilities if they were to come due immediately (Horngren,

These numbers are a weakness because it shows that the stockholders are getting low earnings from their investments, even in year 7, Competition Bikes earned profit of 20 cents per stock. 20 cents per stock was profit and a worthwhile investment for stockholders, year 8 generated .04 cents per stock resulting in a devastating year for Earnings per Share. Our competitor, Two Wheel Racing, did no better and substantiates the fact that the industry as a whole is hurting because sponsors do not want to sponsor bikers right now.

1. a macro (big picture) level risk and control assessment linked to a company’s complete external disclosure process;
2. Increased rigorous documentation, prioritization and assessment of the sub-processes that supports SEC 10K and 10Q disclosures
3. Those looking for a "quick fix", an austere method to compliance, though with some significant legal and cost/benefit stipulations that need to be carefully
