She confides in you about a problem with her boss, who is asking customers to sign sales agreements just before the end of the year, indicating that a sale has been made. Her boss then tells these customers that they will have 30 days to change their minds with no penalty. Thirty days is well into the next financial year. If the customers don't change their minds, then the merchandise is delivered to them, otherwise if they cancel the orders then the invoice is cancelled. Her boss gives the sales agreements to the accounting department, which prepares an invoice and records the sales. One of the people in the accounting department keeps the invoice and delivery documents in a desk until either the customer changes their mind, in which case the sale is cancelled or the merchandise is sent at the end of the 30 day waiting period.Required:Referring to the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, what advice would you give your friend?
