Can you please help me answer these questions for my study guide? I am new to accounting so can you please be very thorough in your explanation? Thank you so much for your time.

I am employed as an accountant for Innovative Computing. My company is in the process of signing a large contract with an electronics components supplier. I have a friend who works for the electronics components supplier, and I am aware of the company having trouble paying bills. Can you tell me what the implications might be of my not divulging the information | learned from my friend about his company's financial troubles to my employer? Would it be considered unethical if I did not inform my employer about the information my friend told me
