John is the chief financial officer at ABC company Inc. Due to an economic downturn, the company has difficulties meeting it’s financial goals.
John was under tremendous pressure to show that the company is in good standing financially. He arranged a meeting with Mary, who is the accountant for ABC Company. John asked Mary to cook or fudge the numbers to make things appear better than they really are. Mary knows that as an accountant, no one should act in an unethical manner. Should Mary “cook the books” as her boss asked her to do, or should she not fudge the numbers? Fully explore both sides of the issue and explain your decision.
**Cook the books/fudge the numbers = to falsify financial and accounting data. Greece did this, resulting in major economic issues when the E.U. discovered their actions.
