The bank declined to give Slack Industriesthe needed funds to finance the business expansion plans. Jack is now looking forways to secure cash hoping he can get sufficient cash to finance the expansion.Jack approaches you as the company's accountant. He knows that you are due tomake government remittances for source deductions the company withheld fromemployees for CPP, EI, and personal income taxes. Jack asks you to delay theremittance until he feels more confident about getting other financing. Jackbelieves it is fine to delay payments because Slack will definitely remit thewithholdings before the T4s are produced at year end.Required:a) Describe the duty that Slack Industries has to remit employee deductionswithheld at source?b) Is withholding the remittances ethical? Why?23)Answer:Slack has a duty to remit employee withholdings on a predetermineschedule set by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Employers have until theend of February after the end of the previous tax year to send T4s to theirlocal federal tax office. That is the only time at which the CRA knows whathas been withheld for each employee for remittance. Failure to remitwithholdings n a regular basis can mean interest penalties for SlackWithholding remittances is payroll fraud on several levels. If entries are notmade to record withholdings, the financial statement liabilities can beunderstated and will overstate the current ratio. Further, employees would beunaware that withholdings are not being remitted on their behalf when thereis an expectation the company is executing their duties in compliance withCRA rules.Explanation:24)Blatt Company employees had the following earnings records at the close of theNovember 30 payroll period.Earnings Through LastPay PeriodEarnings For Nov 30 Pay Period(one week of service)B.
