Ethical Issue 1-1
The board of directors of Xiaping Trading Company is meeting to discuss the past year’s results before releasing financial statements to the bank. The discussion includes this exchange:
Wai Lee, company owner: “This has not been a good year! Revenue is down and expenses are way up. If we are not careful, we will report a loss for the third year in a row. I can temporarily transfer some land that I own into the company’s name, and that will beef up our balance sheet. Brent, can you shave $500,000 from expenses?
Then we can probably get the bank loan that we need.”
Brent Ray, company chief accountant: “Wai Lee, you are asking too much.
Generally accepted accounting principles are designed to keep this sort of thing from happening.”
