Your next-door neighbor recently began a new job as assistant controller for Conundrum Corporation. As her first
assignment, she prepared a performance report for January. She was scheduled to present the report to management
the next morning, so she brought it home to review. As the two of you chatted in the backyard, she decided to show
you the report she had prepared. Unfortunately, your dog thought the report was an object to be fetched. The pup
made a flying leap and got a firm grip on the report. After chasing the dog around the block, you managed to wrest the
report from its teeth. Needless to say, it was torn to bits. Only certain data are legible on the report. This information

Stephanie Baskill, an unemployed accounting clerk, lives one block from Cleaver Manufacturing Company. While walking her dog last year, she noticed some ERP manuals in the dumpsters. Curious, she took the manuals home with her. She found that the documentation in the manual was dated 2 months previous, so she thought that the information must be fairly current. Over the next month,Stephanie continued to collect all types of manuals from the dumpster during her dog-walking excursions. Cleaver Manufacturing Company was apparently updating all of its documentation manuals and placing them online.Eventually, Stephanie found manuals about critical inventory reorder formulas, the billing system, the sales order system, the payables system, and the operating system. Stephanie went to the local library and read as much as she could about this particular operating system.To gain access to the organization, she took a low profile position as a cleaning woman, giving her access to all areas in…

- Charles worked at Butterfly Corporation for two years after graduating from the University of Texas. He liked his job but the firm was going through some rough times. Because the firm was losing money, Douglas, the CEO, set increasingly rigorous performance goals. Charles noticed a lot of employees were grumbling about these unrealistic expectations. He also heard rumors of quality control incidents and other problems. One day Charles was called into Douglass office. “Hello, Doug. You wanted to see me?” Charles asked. “Yes, Charles. Come in.” Doug looked grim. After Charles sat down, he began to speak. “Look, you know about the tough times we are in. We are losing money left and right.

- You are a trainee accountant in your second year of training within a small practice. 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 reconciliation 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 repercussions on your return from study leave. You feel slightly intimidated by your manager, and also feel pressure to do what you can for the practice in what are challenging times. Question: Integrity Can you be open and honest about the situation? Would it be right to attempt to complete…arrow_forwardYesterday, Extensive Enterprise Inc. released its 2018 annual report on the company’s website. While reading the report for his boss, Rafael came across several terms about which he was unsure. He leaned around the wall of his cubicle and asked his colleague, Asha, for help. RAFAEL: Asha, do you have a second to help me with my reading of Extensive’s annual report? I’ve come across several unfamiliar terms, and I want to make sure that I’m interpreting the data and management’s comments correctly. For example, one of the footnotes to the financial statements uses “the book value of Extensive’s shares,” and then in another place, it uses “Economic Value Added.” I’ve never encountered those terms before. Do you know what they’re talking about? ASHA: Yes, I do. Let’s see if we can make these terms make sense by talking through their meaning and their significance to investors. The term book value has several uses. It can refer to a single asset or the company as a whole.…arrow_forwardYou are a trainee accountant in your second year of training within a small practice.
