At present, Slate Grocery's Short and Long Term Debt is projected to decrease significantly based on the last few years of reporting. The current year's Short Term Debt is expected to grow to about 364.8 M, whereas Short and Long Term Debt Total is forecasted to decline to about 756 M. At present, Slate Grocery's PTB Ratio is projected to increase slightly based on the last few years of reporting. The current year's Book Value Per Share is expected to grow to 15.16, whereas Price To Sales Ratio is forecasted to decline to 2.58.
At this time, Slate Grocery's M Score is inapplicable. The earnings manipulation may begin if Slate Grocery's top management creates an artificial sense of financial success, forcing the stock price to be traded at a high price-earnings multiple than it should be. In general, excessive earnings management by Slate Grocery executives may lead to removing some of the operating profits from subsequent periods to inflate earnings in the following periods. This way, the manipulation of Slate Grocery's earnings can lead to misrepresentations of actual financial condition, taking the otherwise loyal stakeholders on to the path of questionable ethical practices and plain fraud.

Slate Grocery Beneish M-Score Indicator Trends

The cure to earnings manipulation is the transparency of financial reporting. It will typically remove the temptation of the top executives to inflate earnings (i.e., to promote the idea of 'winning at any cost'). Because a healthy internal audit department can enhance transparency, the board should promote the auditors' access to all the record-keeping systems across the enterprise. For example, if Slate Grocery's auditors report directly to the board (not management), the managers will be reluctant to manipulate simply due to the fear of punishment. On the other hand, the auditors will be free to investigate the ledgers properly because they know that the board has their back.

About Slate Grocery Beneish M Score

M-Score is one of many grading techniques for value stocks. It was developed by Professor M. Daniel Beneish of the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University and published in 1999 under the paper titled The Detection of Earnings Manipulation. The Beneish score is a multi-factor model that utilizes financial identifiers to compile eight variables used to classify whether a company has manipulated its reported earnings. The variables are built from the officially filed financial statements to create a final score call 'M Score.' The score helps to identify companies that are likely to manipulate their profits if they show deteriorating gross margins, operating expenses, and leverage against growing revenue.
