Question:
Charles Allen, the accountant for Road Inc., was asked to make a presentation to the board of directors concerning the corporation’s year-end financial position. While flying to the meeting on Saturday morning, Allen checked the papers in his briefcase and realized he had left the revised income statement on his desk back at the office and did not have a copy in his e-mail.
