The Equifax Data Breach In 2017, from mid-May to July, hackers gained unauthorized access to servers used by Equifax, a major credit reporting agency, and accessed the personal information of nearly one-half the U.S. population.9 Equifax executives sold off nearly $2 million of company stock they owned after finding out about the hack in late July, weeks before it was publicly announced on September 7, 2017, in potential violation of insider trading rules. The company’s shares fell nearly 14 percent after the announcement, but few expect Equifax managers to be held liable for their mistakes, face any regulatory discipline, or pay any penalties for profiting from their actions. To make amends to customers and clients in the aftermath of the hack, the company offered free credit monitoring and identity-theft protection. On September 15, 2017, the company’s chief information officer and chief of security retired. On September 26, 2017, the CEO resigned, days before he was to testify…

Integrity, Objectivity, and Ethics in Business Loan Loss Woes During the economic crisis of 2008, many of the largest U.S. banks were accused of having provided mortgages to marginally qualified borrowers. Such loans, called "sub-prime" and "Alt-A" loans, were made to earn mortgage fees. When the borrowers were unable to pay their mortgages, the banks incurred large losses on defaulted loans. These losses were so large that the U.S. government had to provide money (TARP funds) to many banks to bail them out of their financial distress. During the middle of the crisis, the FASB voted to provide banks more flexibility in applying fair value accounting for bank assets, such as defaulted loans. These FASB rule changes allowed banks to minimize the impact of their defaulted loan write-downs and improve their earnings. Some criticized the FASB as succumbing to political pressure and reducing overall financial statement fairness. Source: lan Katz, "FASB Eases Fair-Value Rules Amid Lawmaker…

Introduction  Summary of case       Based on the case, the prison service is an example of the complexity of stakeholder requirements, as it must carry out conflicting activities to ensure the safety of society and provide a regime that will punish wrongdoers as a means of payment for their crimes. The principal stakeholders and their requirements are as follows: government ministers, prison governors, prison officers, offenders, families of offenders, and members of society. The relationships between these stakeholder groups are often complex, as politicians ultimately report to those who elect them, and prison governors may feel that they must satisfy the demands of the current party in power, which may be at odds with the requirements of other groups.      A stakeholder is a party that has an interest in a company and can either affect or be affected by the business (Fernando, 2023). The primary stakeholders in the article above are government ministers responsible for the prison…

CASE 1 Ethics in Business: A Perspective Malaysia held its 13th general election on 5 May 2013. The event was a referendum of sorts; chief among them was corruption. The issue of corruption – or the lack of notable, ingrained outcomes in eradicating corruption from within the public and private sectors – has raised much contention and ire among Malaysians. Some may argue that it is the main topic discussed by all ethnic groups in both urban and rural areas across the country. What is hindering the fight to eradicate corruption? Here are some questions to ponder: Has the relationship between the public and private sectors become too blurred that certain practices – which may be deemed outright violation to sound business practice – have become a norm in parts of the world? Has Malaysia fallen prey to this blurring of the lines? Are emerging and high growth markets, in the quest for development or in keeping up with developed countries, responding too slowly to weeding out corruption?…

In order to initiate the project, senior executives at headquarters must come to an agreement on the staffing framework to organize the  overseas units that will take responsibility for international sales.
