Question: MINICASE: ACCT – 09 BUSINESS ETHICS PROGRAM ?1992 Arthur Andersen & Co, SC.

Damage Expense Topic:

Violations of Internal Control Characters: Chris, New Distribution Supervisor at a large candy manufacturer Bob, Inventory Control Manager, Chris’s immediate boss Chris has been recently hired as the Distribution Supervisor for an international candy company. The plant is in a rural area and is about to begin a major expansion that will triple its capacity. The company has generous benefits and has paid all moving expenses for Chris and his family. During the move, however, the movers damaged a large piece of oak furniture. Chris has contacted the moving company. The insurance is by the pound and would cover only a small part of the worth of the item. Chris has explained this to the moving company, but it refuses to reimburse him for the item’s value. Chris approaches his supervisor, Bob, about the problem. Chris has been on the job about a month and enjoys the partnership they have developed to date. Chris had originally interviewed with Bob, and Bob’s recommendation had been a major factor in Chris’s getting the job. Chris has found the types of challenges he was looking for in a new position and is already becoming a major player in planning for the new expansion. Bob tells Chris that he does not think he can do anything to persuade the moving company to reimburse Chris and suggests that Chris pad his next few expense reports to cover the cost. Chris is surprised at Bob’s suggestion, because thus far Bob has dealt with him in a very evenhanded manner and has appeared to have strong business ethical standards.

Possible recommendation:

Chirrs should not do any fraud with expense report. because this will be huge mis conduct as far as business ethics are concerned. Rather he should raise this issue with HR department as they can force movement company to give the reimbursement otherwise they will black list the movement company. He can also take consumer forum help if the case is genuine and very evident that due to lack of proper handling this damage has happened. He can also take advantage of social media to highlight the issue and seek compensation from insurance company

Explanation / Answer

Possible recommendation can be a good answer to the possible scenario

however the fact that insurance is covered only by pounds and the moving company is not willing to reimburse the whole of the amount going unethical way should never be an option to maintain the business ethics of the company. He should genuinely meet the companys higher authority to understand there scenario and try to convince them for the piece so damaged.

Going to consumer forum can also be a good idea and highlighting the issue with social media will help to bring the case in limelight, it may have it consequences but the risk will have to be taken since the value of the item seems to be high.
