Part A
Question 1 - Ethics in Accounting
As the accountant of Breathless Company, Sandra discovered a misstatement that will overstate net profit in this year's financial statements. These misleading financial statements will appear in the company's annual report which will be issued to banks, creditors and other stakeholders. Sandra communicated to her manager, Jerry McNabb, about this misstatement. Jerry said, "Hey! What they don't know won't hurt them so we don't need to fix and disclose this misstatement. Just don't make such a mistake again." She agreed with Jerry because she feared her job might be at stake, provided the current COVID-19 situation. She was also afraid that the upper-level management was actively considering cost reductions by laying off some staff, which might include her too.
Sandra came across certain financial information particularly related to costing that she believes will assist one of her friends, Adam, who is planning to supply goods Breathless Company. After all, Sandra is a good friend and considers helping Adam a virtue. She sees no harm in this because it will benefit the company and her friend. She provides the information to Adam without taking consent from the concerned authority in the company.
Sandra has been working in Breathless Company since 2015. She has been doing great in bookkeeping, lending, and financial planning. Considering her performance, she has recently been appointed as an internal auditor of Breathless Company, reporting directly to the audit committee.
