For each of the below primary types of external users, summarize one specific moral hazard risk (or concern) faced by that group, and then explain one way in which financial reporting/financial accounting information is used to mitigate (reduce) that risk (in other words, describe a “solution” to that particular risk that involves financial statements). Shareholders MH Risk: Solution: Creditors MH Risk: Solution:   Notes: Each pairing (risk + solution) is worth 3 points. More than full credit can be awarded for exceptionally good answers. Partial credit can also be awarded. Complete sentences are not required, but your answers should be complete enough to clearly depict a particular risk and related solution. Organize your response by mirroring the bulleted list format that you see within this prompt; clearly indicate whether something is either a risk or solution by labeling it as such. The best approach would be to recreate the above bulleted list (click the “raindrops” menu item if you’re not seeing this formatting tool) in your text editor, and then complete it!
