- While working as a new employee at the Defense Contracting Audit Agency, you noticed that a fellow employee was studying intensely for the Financial Accounting section of the CPA test. You planned to sit for that test section in two months, and your colleague was sitting for that test section next Thursday. On Thursday evening, you phoned your friend to see how she was doing after the test. She thanked you for being considerate and told you that she was emotionally drained. Nonetheless, she then kept you on the phone for 15 minutes, telling you about the “nasty” Statement of Cash Flows and Consolidation problems she encountered. What is the ethical issue? Did either of you commit a discreditable act under the Code of Conduct?arrow_forwardWorking alone select a job that is familiar to you (e.g., secretary, cashier, HR manager, Sales officer etc), and conduct a task analysis for this job.

A more senior trainee has been on sick leave, and you are due to go on study leave. You have been told by your manager that, before you go on leave, you must complete some complicated settlement work. The deadline suggested appears unrealistic, given the complexity of the work. You feel that you are not sufficiently experienced to complete the work alone. You would need additional supervision to complete it to the required standard, and your manager appears unable to offer the necessary support. If you try to complete the work within the proposed timeframe but fail to meet the expected quality, you could face consequences on your return from study leave. You feel slightly intimidated by your manager, and also feel pressure to do what you can for the organization in what are challenging times.

The company's revenues and net income have increased by more than 100% over the past three years.

Frustrated by not receiving a raise while the company has thrived and the top management has received bonuses, TJ has begun submitting expense reimbursements for personal purchases. TJ has a good relationship with their supervisor, and the supervisor simply "signs off" on TJ's expense reimbursements. TJ suspects that the supervisor knows that the submissions are for personal expenses and is "looking the other way" because TJ has not received a raise in the past three years.arrow_forward

We get to know all of our contractors because, as the chief of staff puts it, "vetting of such contractors is very important because of the nature of our client's business. We've even watched contractors develop. We have one contractor with us today who started at 16 and is now a manager at 26." The contractors are introduced to more than just the chief. Some of the contractors have been working with a customer for so long that if they leave, the crew must continue. This company has 4,000 contractors and 226 full-time employees, so succession planning must take both into consideration.
