Description
Recent accounting scandals have emphasized the need to consider ethics in a wide variety of accounting scenarios. The typical focus in accounting ethics education, however, is on the creation and assurance of the financial statements. While this focus is understandable, it ignores the many other ethical dilemmas that accountants face on a daily basis. This case attempts to widen this focus by examining an ethical dilemma faced by a young controller as part of his daily responsibilities. More specifically, the case adapts a real scenario to help students consider the ethical issues behind excessive reimbursements, using company resources to benefit family members, and theft of resources. The case also provides opportunities to talk with students about reporting ethical violations and about the pressures individuals feel to conform to the status quo.
