As the CFO, you are hosting an informal celebration in the office for all finance staff to celebrate

the installation of a new computer package faster than anticipated. All of the staff worked really

hard. The celebration is a reward, approved by the CEO and the Board of Directors, to show

appreciation for all the hard work. The food budget is $$500.$ Your next$-$door neighbor has just

started her own catering business and asks to supply the food. Since she is just starting out, she

will do it at cost and provide extra items at no charge to make the meal really special. The

anticipated retail price of the food to be provided would be $$900.$ All she is asking in return is to

be able to promote her name and offer business cards in the hope of gaining future business.

The CFO is a member of the IMA. Would accepting the neighbor's offer violate the code of

ethical conduct?
