An employee at an electrical engineering firm was unhappy about being overlooked for a promotion opportunity and decided to resign. He started working at a competing firm in the same city. The former firm soon realized that their innovative designs in engineering solutions were being made available at the new firm where the employee was now working. After a thorough investigation, it was found that the disgruntled employee’s account and password (and therefore his access to confidential designs) were still active. The investigation indicated that the employee had regularly accessed his account and reviewed the confidential designs.

- Donald Waddell got a job at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research. Waddell did not have an employment contract for a fixed term, and the institute’s employee manual said that his job was “terminable at will.” Soon after he was hired, the institute implemented a whistleblower policy designed to encourage “the highest standards of financial reporting and lawful and ethical behavior.” Waddell repeatedly told his supervisor, Sophia Darling, that she needed to file certain financial documents more promptly. Darling fired Waddell, telling him that he was disrespectful and insubordinate. Define “at will” employment and wrongful termination. Based on the evidence given, was Waddell wrongfully terminated? Why, or why not.You are engaged to assist in the installation of a new computerized production system for your client. Because the firm did not have experienced staff available for the engagement, your firm assigned several newly hired staff assistants without sufficient supervision. As a result, the client incurred significant losses when the production system crashed, causing significant backlogs and lost production sales. What are the possible legal implications of this situation for your CPA firm?Mr Smith has been working hard for the last ten years in MarksPush Limited, and he has requested frequently his immediate boss and other concerned officers to consider himself for the promotion. Even though some other junior workers are promoted, the promotion requests of Mr Smith are always ignored. Finally, Mr Smith decided to resign since he thought he was not fairly treated and therefore not promoted. He has secured a similar job in XYZ Limited, one of MarksPush Limited's competitors, based on his qualification and competency. Mr Smith understands that the IT department of MarksPush Limited is not efficient, and there are no defined procedures for the account and passwords of terminated employees. Mr Smith further confirmed that his account and password for MarksPush Limited were still active. Using these details, Mr Smith accessed, copied and brought many innovative engineering designs from MarksPush Limited to XYZ Limited. 1.Based on the given information, identify and explain…
- The head of the accounting department is not satisfied with the implementation of the new system. He believes that the new system will result in job losses for many of the bookkeepers. They are threatening industrial action. In your role as project sponsor, what should you do to resolve the situation?Is it an entity inherent risk for the information below? Supervisors working at Marco Inc. interview all perspective employees for positions they supervise. In addition, at least one of the corporate officers also interviews each perspective employee. Most of the key employees, including the officers, have been with Marco for more than ten years. However, due to the high demand for accountants, Stephen Violet an accountant and most of the accounting staff have been employed at Marco for less than 3 years. While Marco checks references for any prospective employee, they do not check criminal records or perform other forms of background checks. If it is an inherent risk, what is the feature of the firm that will possibly affect inherent risk and explain how and why; that is whether it increases or decreases inherent risk. Please address a specific risk to the accuracy of the financial statements with the "how" and whether audit effort should be increased or decreased for specific…How could Pascal and Super Tech have identified and addressed this risk? What should Pascal do now? Case - Pascal is the manager of software development for Super Tech. He discovered that Bill, the lead software designer, has announced that he is leaving the company next week. Pascal finds that Bill has accepted a job with Super Tech main competitor. Pascal fear that in his new job, Bill will use technology developed while at the company and disclose the identities of key customers.
- Your HR Manager approaches you regarding a worker whose performance reports have been deteriorating lately and seeks your opinion on whether to keep or fire the worker. To balance things out, the manager says that the business has invested a lot of time and money in educating this employee on company-specific procedures, and that it would be a shame to let that money go to waste. What response would you have?The public accounting firm of Hanson and Brown was expanding very rapidly. Consequently, it hired several staff assistants, including James Small. Subsequently, the partners of the firm became dissatisfied with Small’s production and warned him that they would be forced to discharge him unless his output increased significantly. At that time, Small was engaged in audits of several clients. He decided that, to avoid being fired, he would reduce or omit entirely some of the required auditing procedures listed in the audit plan prepared by the partners. One of the public accounting firm’s non-SEC clients, Newell Corporation, was in serious financial difficulty and had adjusted several of its accounts being examined by Small to appear financially sound. Small prepared fictitious working papers in his home at night to support purported completion of auditing procedures assigned to him, although he in fact did not examine the Newell adjusting entries. The public accounting firm rendered an…Robert Hamilton was hired 6 months ago as the controller of a small oil and gas exploration and development company, Gusher, Inc., headquartered in Beaumont, Texas. Before working at Gusher, Hamilton was the controller of a larger petroleum company, Eureka Oil Company, based in Dallas.The joint interest billing and fixed asset accounting systems of Gusher are outdated, and frequent processing problems and errors have been occurring. Hamilton immediately recognized these problems and informed the president, Mr. Barton, that it was crucial to install a new system. Barton concurred and met with Hamilton and Sally Jeffries, the information systems senior manager. Barton instructed Jeffries to make the new system a top priority. Basically, he told Jeffries to deliver the system to meet Hamilton’s needs as soon as possible.Jeffries left the meeting feeling overwhelmed because the IT department is currently working on two other very big projects, one for the production department and the…

Then we can determine which aspects are working well and which should be preserved.
