Bayline USA
Educational use only. Bayline USA is a fictional company created for instruction. Nothing here is accounting, tax, or legal advice. Full notices.

Bayline USA is a teaching case, not a business. This page is about the real people and companies that build and publish it.

The case

The library exists because most accounting and spreadsheet instruction is taught on disconnected examples. A chapter on formulas uses one company, the chapter on charts uses another, and the exercise at the end of the term uses a third. Students learn to complete exercises rather than to work on a set of books.

Bayline USA was built to fix that. It has a real capital structure, a real seasonal revenue pattern, and books that reconcile. Errors in it are the errors that actually happen. When a lesson says a total does not foot, the total really does not foot, and finding out why is the lesson.

Everything on this site is original work. No textbook and no vendor sample company contributes content to any workbook, slide, dataset, or video. That is a deliberate position, and it is what allows the material to be used in a college or university course, in corporate training, and on a public channel without three separate licensing conversations.

Who owns what

RTH Worldwide, LLC owns the copyright in the Bayline USA case and everything built on it: scripts, slides, workbooks, datasets, packets, and video.

It wears two hats. It is the parent company for a portfolio of separate businesses, and it is also the operating company for the accounting practice, which trades under the fictitious names YourAccountantsUSA and TusContadoresUSA. Those two are not separate companies. They are the same firm under two names, one in English and one in Spanish.

RTH Systems, Inc. is a different company. It designs and operates this site and the platform behind it.

Instructor disclosure. The Bayline USA case, workbooks, slides, and video were created by RTH Worldwide, LLC, a company owned by your instructor. Where they are used in a college or university course, they are provided to you at no cost as part of that course. Nothing in any course requires you to buy any product or service from RTH Worldwide, LLC, YourAccountantsUSA, TusContadoresUSA, or any related business, and no part of your grade depends on any dealing with them.
