Hi Martin,
Sorry for responding so late on this - I had this mostly drafted and then
got distracted. Thanks for your question and great to hear of your interest
in applying TBL to accounting. I think it can work really well!
Can you share a syllabus, learning objectives or other specifics about your
course and I can provide some more specific ideas? Happy to chat further or
email directly as well.
For background, I taught Airport Administration and Finance with TBL and we
cover a number of accounting principles. I also used to be an airline CFO
and did a TBL based training with KPMG a few years ago. Plenty of ideas on
how to do this. A few that come to mind that have worked in my context:
1. What's the most important financial statement (balance sheet, cash flow
or income statement)?
2. Company X did this and reported this as Y in the footnote
A. Do you agree with the decision?
B. Do you agree with the footnote disclosure?
C. What would you change to improve the footnote disclosure?
2B. Extension: How would you reword the footnote in the financial statement
to be more effective?
3. You have 10 F-50 turboprops on your balance sheet that have
depreciated to zero value. However, you have determined that you will still
fly these planes for another 5 years which will save you $50K per year in
aircraft rent. (accounting profit versus cash flow)
a) What happens to accounting profit?
b) What happens to cash flow?
4. The total cost of aeronautical operations at San Juan airport is $100
million per year. Attached is the landing data by airline, aircraft type,
weight and passengers.
a) Describe the methodology you would recommend to allocate the landing
fees to different airlines?
b) How much would American Airlines pay?
c) How much would Cape Air pay?
d) How much would FedEx pay?
5. Review the earnings release and investor relations presentation from
Airports of Thailand. (Financial, planning and analysis; understanding
seasonal/month-over-month comparisons)
a) Which airport was the best performing airport in the last month?
b) How do you know?
6. Review the Skywest cash flow statement for year X. (Cash versus
accounting profit)
a) What are the top three items that are non-cash?
b) How much accounting profit did they generate?
c) How much cash did they generate?
Kind regards,
Brian
