The former bookeeper of White Electric Supply is serving time in prision for embezzling nearly $416,000 in less than five years. Like so many other ordinary employees, she started out by taking only small amounts. By the time she was caught, she was stealing lump sums of $5,000 and 10,000. Her method was crude and simple. She would write a check for the correct amount payable to a supplier for say, $15,000. However, she would record in the companys check register an amount significantly greater, say, $20,000. She would then write a check payable to herself for the $5,000 difference. In the check register, next to the number of each check she had deposited in her personal bank account, she would write the "void," making it appear as though the ceck had been destroyed. This process went undected for nearly five years.
A. What controls must have been lacking at White Electric Supply to enable the bookeeper to steal nearly $416,000 before being caught?
B. What the bookkeeper did was definitely unethical. But what if one of her grandchildren had been ill and needed an expensive operation? If this had been the case, would it have been ethical for her to take company funds to pay for the operation if she intended to pay the company back in full? Defend your answer.
