After purchasing his shares, Tristan asks you to explain to him what the register of members is, what information is in that register, and whether all companies must keep one. Tristan is quite fascinated by the existence of a register and asks you whether he can inspect the one his details are recorded on and, if so, where can he find it. Tristan confides in you that if he can get access to the personal details of all his company’s members, he could then sell that information to commercial call centres and socio-economic survey research companies. Also, Tristan cannot understand why the court has sole power to correct any errors made on entries into the members register. Advise Tristan.

only investment in securities. When he made this investment, he intended that it be a long-term one.

- At a recent luncheon, you were seated next to Mr. Hopkins, the president of a local company that manufactures bicycle parts. He heard that you were a CPA and made the following comments to you: Why is it that I am forced to recognize depreciation expense in my company’s income statement when I know that I could sell many of my assets for more than I paid for them? I thought that the purpose of the balance sheet was to reflect the value of my business and that the purpose of the income statement was to report the net change in value or wealth of a company.
