Helen Hernandez, president of Double H Enterprises, applied for a $175,000 loan from Great Nations Bank. The bank requested financial statements as a basis for granting the loan. Helen instructed her accountant to provide the bank with a balance sheet, but to omit the other financial statements because her business incurred a net loss last year.
