Case Study<\/p>\n
An Ethical Dilemma<\/p>\n
Carla knew something was wrong when Jack got back to his desk. He had been with Aker & Aker Accounting (A&A) for 17 years, starting there right after graduation and progressing through the ranks. Jack was a strong supporter of the company, and that was why Carla had been assigned to him. Carla had been with A&A for two years. She had graduated in the top 10 percent of her class and passed the CPA exam on the first try. She had chosen A&A over one of the \u201cBig Four\u201d firms because A&A was the biggest and best fi rm in Smallville, Ohio, where her husband, Frank, managed a locally owned machine tools company. She and Frank had just purchased a new home when things started to turn strange with Jack, her boss.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter, Jack?\u201d Carla asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, you\u2019ll hear about it sooner or later. I\u2019ve been denied a partner\u2019s position. Can you imagine that? I have been working 60- and 70-hour weeks for the last 10 years, and all that management can say to me is \u2018not at this time,\u2019\u201d complained Jack.<\/p>\n
Carla asked, \u201cSo what else did they say?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack turned red and blurted out, \u201cThey said maybe in a few more years. I\u2019ve done all that they\u2019ve asked me to do. I\u2019ve sacrificed a lot, and now they say a few more years. It\u2019s not fair.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you going to do?\u201d Carla asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d Jack said. \u201cI just don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Six months later, Carla noticed that Jack was behaving oddly. He came in late and left early. One Sunday Carla went into the office for some fi les and found Jack copying some of the software that A&A used in auditing and consulting. A couple of weeks later, at a dinner party, Carla overheard a conversation about Jack doing consulting work for some small fi rms. Monday morning, she asked him if what she had heard was true.<\/p>\n
Jack responded, \u201cYes, Carla, it\u2019s true. I have a few clients that I do work for on occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you think there\u2019s a conflict of interest between you and A&A?\u201d asked Carla.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d said Jack. \u201cYou see, these clients are not technically within the market area of A&A. Besides, I was counting on that promotion to help pay some extra bills. My oldest son decided to go to a private university, which is an extra $25,000 each year. Plus our medical plan at A&A doesn\u2019t cover some of my medical problems. And you don\u2019t want to know the cost. The only way I can afford to pay for these things is to do some extra work on the side.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut what if A&A finds out?\u201d Carla asked. \u201cWon\u2019t they terminate you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to think about that. Besides, if they don\u2019t find out for another six months, I may be able to start my own company.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow?\u201d asked Carla.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be naive, Carla. You came in that Sunday. You know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carla realized that Jack had been using A&A software for his own gain. \u201cThat\u2019s stealing!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cStealing?\u201d Jack\u2019s voice grew calm. \u201cLike when you use the office phones for personal long-distance calls? Like when you decided to volunteer to help out your church and copied all those things for them on the company machine? If I\u2019m stealing, you\u2019re a thief as well. But let\u2019s not get into this discussion. I\u2019m not hurting A&A and, who knows, maybe within the next year I\u2019ll become a partner and can quit my night job.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carla backed off from the discussion and said nothing more. She couldn\u2019t afford to antagonize her boss and risk bad performance ratings. She and Frank had bills, too. She also knew that she wouldn\u2019t be able to get another job at the same pay if she quit. Moving to another town was not an option because of Frank\u2019s business. She had no physical evidence to take to the partners, which meant that it would be her word against Jack\u2019s, and he had 17 years of experience with the company.<\/p>\n
