Fremantle fisheries ff operates a fleet of fishing boats

Reference no: EM13585332

Fremantle Fisheries (FF) operates a fleet of fishing boats out of three ports in Western Australia - Fremantle, Bunbury and Geraldton. Each port has its own fishing fleet and all seafood caught is sold through the Fish Marketing Board, a board established by the state government. The accounting procedures for all sales to the Board are centralized and handled by a computerized accounting system at FF's head office in Perth. The majority of the company's employees work on the fishing boats, and are paid bonuses from head office, depending on the volume, type and quality of seafood caught. This means that head office must be able to identify the source of each shipment sent to the Board.John Dorey, who was originally based in Geraldton and handled the accounting procedures at Geraldton before computerization, is now based in Perth as manager of the computerized accounting system. His father and two sisters are still based in Geraldton and work for the company on the fishing boats, as do many friends of the family.shipping documents are sent to the Perth head office from all three port, and the source of the shipment is clearly marked in the top right-hand corner of the documents. Occasionally, however, details of the source are missing, and it is not easy to trace the source quickly. Dorey, in his capacity as manager of the system, is keen to keep the system fully operational and up to date, and has instructed the keyboard operator to insert any one of three Geraldton source codes, namely those of his father and two sister, whenever the source code is missing from the shipping document. The keyboard operator knows that the code given are those belonging to his boss's family, but nevertheless complies with the request for fear that non-compliance may lead to his own dismissal.
