Question No. 14
Finance Ethics: Do Small Errors need to be Reported?
X is a fresh qualified CMA who has just started his first job in the finance department of a major publicly traded
Silicon Valley company. One of his main responsibilities is to create and distribute extensive Excel reports that
analyze costs and revenues for different divisions. While X considers himself to be detailed-oriented, the
complicated nature of the reports and the sheer volume of data he has to process can sometimes be a little
overwhelming.
Each of these reports has a strict deadline, and once X is finished he sends them to his direct supervisor and the
CFO. The CFO then uses the information while planning economic strategies and forecasting for the company.
The CFO often references the data in the reports during critical meetings.
While X works hard to prepare the reports to the best of his ability, he often finds errors after he has already sent
them off. When the errors are critical, he revises the reports and resends them. However, some of the errors are
much less important, and X doubts that the CFO will use or look at those figures. X worries that if he sends out an
updated report for every mistake he catches and revises, he will look like he’s not doing his job properly. He feels
stuck between ensuring maximum quality of his work and meeting deadlines.
He really wants to move up in the company, and he is afraid that if he has to send out too many updates, he
won’t be trusted as reliable. On the other hand, he doesn’t want to send out incorrect information, especially
when the CFO could be using it to make critical decisions. Because he’s only in his second year at the company,
X does not have a comprehensive understanding of the implications of inaccurate information.
Question: What should X do when he catches a mistake? Especially since he works for a publicly traded
company, is he obligated to report every error?
Question No. 15
Uncomfortable Attention from a Supervisor
A has been recently hired full time at the major tech company where she interned for two summers during her
college career. X loves her job and has established many strong relationships with her co-workers over the time
she has worked there. The company encourages the interns and new hires to interact with seniors and upper
management in order to create an open and friendly atmosphere.
During her time as an intern, A began to notice that one of the seniors s paid her extra attention. When he was
around he would always make an extra effort to stop by A’s cubicle and chat, something he did not do with any
of the other interns. He reached out to her over social networking sites and even invited her to a gathering at his
house. Some of her co-workers began to make offhand comments to A about the extra attention.
Now that she was in a full time position, A began to dread that she would soon have to work with this senior
directly more frequently. While he has not done or said anything explicitly inappropriate, the extra attention (and
the fact that her co-workers noticed it) made her very uncomfortable and impeded her work. When she was
hired, she was told that she should always speak to her manager if she was uncomfortable or had issues with the
work environment. However, she is afraid to come across like a tattle-tale, since the senior hasn’t explicitly done
anything wrong.
Question:
What course of action should A take?

Question 14
A Job Search Dilemma
Y, a second-semester senior, is looking for a job. Anxious about finding work in the worst economy in decades, he
sends out scores of resumes for a wide variety of positions. The first call he gets is for a position that doesn't really
interest him, but he figures he should be open to every opportunity. He schedules an interview, which he aces. In
fact, the recruiter offers Y the job on the spot. He would like Y to start as soon as possible. –
Question: Should Y accept the offer? If he does, can he continue to pursue other jobs actively? [8]
Question 15
You are the senior finance manager of XYZ Ltd, a large Indian subsidiary of an internationally based financial
services organisation, which has grown substantially in recent years. You have been in the role for 5 years and
believe that there is a very real chance that you might be in line for promotion to the group finance director
position within the next couple of years, as long as you play your cards right. You believe that such a promotion is
merited. You have committed yourself to the organisation and your work-life balance is heavily weighted towards
the former. Your work is your life, at least at the moment.
The group, has had a bad couple of years worldwide, partly to do with the economic downturn in most areas,
but also to do with poor management in some key areas of operations (but not in the India). In response to these
poor results, the US parent had insisted on 5% cost cutting efficiencies in the current year in all subsidiaries: for you
in the Indian subsidiary, this was a very tough target and you have just about achieved it, but at the cost of a
dispirited workforce and a range of economies which could not be sustained in the long term. The need to
ensure that the company satisfies all of its regulatory requirements is a major issue and these cuts have left your
organisation vulnerable.
At a recent video conference, Mr. Y, the American Group FD, informed you that all subsidiaries must achieve a
further 10% efficiency saving in the subsequent year (for which you are currently preparing the budgets), but that
all operational and sales targets must still be met. This news is greeted with a degree of incredulity by you and
your colleagues but it is made very clear that this is not negotiable.
You know that this is going to be almost impossible to achieve in practice and so, the next day, you call Mr. Y and
share these views with him. He tells you in no uncertain terms that your views are unhelpful and that if you are not
prepared to implement these cuts then someone else will be found who can. You point out that the cuts will
severely impact on the business's ability to satisfy its legal and regulatory responsibilities:
By the end of the call it is crystal clear: either cuts will be made or you will be fired.
Question: You come to the same conclusion that this does not appear possible unless the company is willing to
live with the significant risk that it will not comply with the regulatory requirements. What would you
do? [8]
