Problem
Your fourth ethics discussion relates to your Ethics Case on Harold, an employee who followed a supervisor's order and found himself convicted of fraud. Harold believed he was fulfilling his responsibilities as vice president of finance for his company by following his boss's orders. Do you believe this justifies his actions? Does Harold's CPA license generate greater ethical responsibility for him than for someone who did the same thing but was not a CPA? Do you believe that Harold's sentence was fair? Why did Harold confess? How did he rationalize his fraud? What similarities do you see among Diann, Justin, Aaron, Westin, and Harold? What differences?
