Question

You are an accountant in a large firm. Your boss tells you to use a controversial accounting practice, which will make the company’s profits seem higher. She tells you it is only to impress stockholders and will not be used in statements submitted to the IRS. What would you do?

Answer 1

Any corporate employee holds the responsibility of maintaining high professional ethics in the course of their professionalism. I will act in the similar approach. I hold the responsibility to maintain the highest professional accounting and will executed my work appropriately, which means presenting the accurate figures to the stockholders. I will also blow the whistle on malpractice in the workplace which I strongly consider to disclose to the management. . A whistleblower is a person who exposes any sort of activity or information that is deemed unethical, illegal, or not correct within an organization that is either public or private. It creates loyalty and sense of commitment to the organisation and job description. By doing so, I will owe loyalty to myself as well as the investors.
