Laborers Local 829 serves as a multi-employer health care provider for union construction members. The case focuses on accounting situations that might be faced on an audit engagement. The purpose of this case is to provide you with a realistic audit situation that requires you to think critically, plan and perform audit tests of investments and receivables, consider accounting issues related to receivables, and review and prepare audit working papers. Data for the case are based on an actual audit engagement performed by accounting practitioners. Names used, however, are fictitious. Investments consist of holdings similar to those of a mutual fund. Actual stock prices are used for the holdings.

Research in finance is guided by powerful intuitions from models of efficient markets. However, researchers have uncovered a number of puzzles that are not explained by these models. Such anomalies include the excess volatility of stock prices, the closed-end mutual fund paradox, and the mean reversion in stock prices that produces predictable returns for long holding periods.1 Whereas financial economists all recognize the existence of these puzzles, they disagree about how they can be explained. Robert J. Shiller argues, for example, that efficient-markets models cannot hope to explain these anomalies and looks to alternatives that incorporate fads.2 In contrast, John H. Cochrane believes that the puzzles can be explained by improved models of fundamentals.3
