How Did Chiquita Make Their Payments?

The company was crated to limit the liability of its stockholders and to maximize the profits.

Fascinated by the simple cost-effective business models he observed at small burrito shops in San Francisco, Steve Ells founded the first Chipotle Mexican Grill in 1993 near the University of Denver. By putting his own spin on the traditional casual dinning approach, Chipotle is now an enormously successful publicly traded company with over 1,000 locations in 38 states.

However, the company’s main focus are their federal concerns for reporting income and expenses because their business is technically illegal. Based on legal

I authenticated that funding took place in compliance with the Anti-Deficiency Act and all other applicable regulations. For example, I reconciled costs on reimbursable agreements, and verified and ensured that the status of the funds were COCD. I exercised due caution and diligence in performing daily advance payment posting to the proper customer. I paid attention to detail in performing daily funds certification duties for Solely Travel Reimbursable Agreements involving analyzing budgeted versus actual expenses, reviewing processed refunds, certifying funds, reviewing collections and account receivables. I managed to review aging account receivables to avoid customer delinquency; I also analyzed unused funds and advance payments to ensure that overpayments were returned to the appropriate customer by communicating directly with them and verifying their return

The non-existent revenues reported from these contracts convinced banks to lend money to ZZZZ best, who then used the funds to pay salaries and expand the company’s legitimate business. However, first the funds were sent though a financial loop so that they would appear to be revenue. First, ZZZZ best would hire Marbil Management, a bookkeeping from owned by ZZZZ Best's senior vice president Mark L. Morze, to supply labor and materials for the job. However, these funds would only stay in Marbil’s account for approximately 20 seconds before being transferred back to Padget who would falsify additional contracts. (Murphy, 1989).

Federal agencies are responsible for a large array of missions and goals, to achieve them all they use a variety of approaches which include but are not limited to contracts for acquiring goods and services ADDIN EN.CITE Weitzel20061127(Weitzel and Berns, 2006)1127112717Weitzel, UtzBerns, SjorsCross-Border Takeovers, Corruption, and Related Aspects of GovernanceJournal of International Business StudiesJournal of International Business Studies786-8063762006Palgrave Macmillan Journals00472506http://www.jstor.org/stable/4540384( HYPERLINK l "_ENREF_4" o "Weitzel, 2006 #1127" Weitzel and Berns, 2006).

Chipotle, like many other businesses, faces many ethical problems. Currently, the future of Chipotle is unknown due to an E. Coli outbreak, however, I feel like that is something that has the potential to happen whenever a business sells food. Chipotle has faced what I feel is an, even more, important ethical problem. Chipotle’s marketing is really where they have shown how unethical they really are. Through Chipotle’s marketing, they have continuously falsely advertised their company. Their advertising tends to raise more questions than provide answers to its viewers and they are misleading in the way that things really are.

Business Law helps to give a basis for right and wrong, beyond morality; therefore, it is an important consideration when deciding whether a business practice or decision is ethical. A company who is cutting corners to skirt regulations would be unethical. The discussion case on Chipotle using illegal immigrant workers for cheap labor would be an example of this. The company verified employees by obtaining documentation which met the minimum requirements of the law, but they did not have systems in place to verify that the documentation was valid, and they turned a blind eye to cases where false documentation had been presented. This made the company’s decision to not implement verification systems unethical. Knowing the laws and regulations

As retaliation to these restrictions, Chiquita took a couple of steps. For instance, Chiquita with other Latin-American companies wrote two GATT petitions, which were, however, vetoed by the European Union. Another instance could be when Chiquita filed Section 301 petitions with the U.S Trade Representative. However, this action was suitable for more long term effects rather than short-term effects, which Chiquita was aiming for. In addition to these actions, Chiquita also tried

After the U.S. Justice Department determined that Chiquita’s payments were illegal and must be stopped, Chiquita pleaded guilty to one criminal charge of engaging with a terrorist organization and received a $25 million fine. Public admission and a guilty plea make the evidence clear that Chiquita knew they were acting irresponsibly and unethically. After the lawsuits were filed, Chiquita maintained it was a victim of extortion and simply trying to protect its employees. While Chiquita didn’t kill the victims directly, they funded the terrorist organization to buy weapons that killed the people. Chiquita had several opportunities to address the issue and change course but they didn’t. Even after being advised by their attorney that the payments

company ever convicted of dealing with terrorists, and resulted in a fine of US$25 million and other penalties. To make matters worse, the industry was facing pressure from increasing retailer purchasing power, major changes in consumer tastes and preferences, and Europe 's imposition of an "onerous tariff" on companies that sourced bananas from Latin America. With this in mind, Fernando Aguirre, Chiquita 's CEO since 2004, reflected on how the company had arrived at this point, and what had been done to correct the course so far. He faced major challenges to the company 's competitive position in this dynamic industry. What would it take to position the company on a more positive competitive trajectory? Would this even be possible in this industry and in the business climate Chiquita faced?
