IMA Ethics Series: Ethical Decisions and Workplace Relationships

One of the signposts to an engaged employee is having a best friend at work. But how do these personal relationships impact ethical situations when they arise? We will be looking at a case based on real life that involves potential bribery of a senior manager by a supplier through inflated prices. The potential situation is uncovered through a friend at work and that friend is afraid of losing his job should the information come to light. What is the finance and accounting professional supposed to do then? How can they resolve the ethical dilemma? Along with the case, we will look at the IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice, qualities of an effective whistleblower program, and what research has revealed about how managers can build a culture that discourages fraudulent activity.
