<strong>ACCT</strong><strong>601</strong><br />

Details:<br />

Scenario Summary<br />

You have been invited to attend a meeting where your immediate supervisor will be presenting a draft of<br />

detailed financial projections to the chief financial officer and a subsequent meeting with the company<br />

president. You’ve not been involved in the preparation of the analysis thus far but understand that you<br />

might have some tasks delegated to you after the meeting. In addition, you realize that the company is at<br />

a critical juncture from issues such as high attrition of the accounting staff, current economic conditions,<br />

and increased competition.<br />

Your Role/Assignment<br />

You have recently been hired in the fairly small accounting department of a corporate business. The<br />

department is so small, in fact, that you may be called on at times for tasks ranging from simple<br />

bookkeeping, to preparation of financial statements and projections, and to perhaps even filling-in on the<br />

internal audit staff. One of your first responsibilities is to assist a senior level accountant with a detailed<br />

financial projection after input from the chief financial officer and the president of the company.<br />

Activity


You need to draft a summary of how you will handle the situation. Specific questions that should be<br />

addressed are:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Do you feel that there might be an ethical issue present? For the moment, assume that no laws<br />

have been broken and just focus on any possible ethical issues.<br />

If you were going to report a suspected ethical issue, how would you do so? For instance, to<br />

whom would you report? Would you discuss the matter with anyone first?<br />

Would the manner in which you respond vary depending on whether this corporation was<br />

privately held or publicly traded?<br />

Does the fact that you have only been recently hired play into your decisions?<br />

What possible sources of guidance might be available from a professional organization and/or<br />

your state’s regulatory body overseeing the accounting profession?<br />

Lastly, please assume that you suspect that some state or federal laws have been broken. The<br />

problems might be beyond just a possible ethical issue, in other words. Would this change your<br />

handling of the situation?<br />

After reading through the You Decide activity and considering the questions listed here, please prepare a<br />

paper in APA format. The paper should include responses to the specific questions posed above but you<br />

may include other points if you so desire. The paper should be double-spaced, 11-point or 12-point type,<br />

and between 750 and 1,000 words (3 to 4 pages).
