1-3A - Ethical Dilemmas faced by young CPAs It's Saturday evening in tax season, and after a brutal week of tax prep (you worked most of Saturday, much to your dismay), you and your friend Brady Sampson are sharing some beers at the pub. You are complaining to Brady that you've blown the budget on your last 3 files and the next 3 on your desk don't seem to be going any better. You ask Brady how he always manages to get his work done on time and under budget. "Simple", he says, "I go over budget on some of my files too, but I just eat the time." You have absolutely no idea what he is talking about, so you ask him what "Eat the time" means. *I come in on Sunday and work a few hours 'Off the clock' to catch up n the files where I've fallen behind schedule. I don't charge the clients or the CPA firm, I eat the te and the bosses love me for it. The managing partner saw me in last Sunday and gave me a pat on the ack. I'm probably going to get promoted next June." You contemplate what Brady has just said. You are both at the same J or level in the firm and it's obvious to you that he is on track for promotion, while you are not. St Id you start "Eat Time" too? Required: a.) List the best 3 reasons for and the best 3 reasons against "eatin b.) Is "Eating Time" ethical? Why or why not? c.) What should you do?
