• Case 2:Emily works in Quality Control. Once a year, her supervisor gives away the refurbished computers to the local elementary school. No specific records are kept of this type of transaction, and Emily needs a computer for her son, who is in college. Her supervisor asks her to deliver 12 computer systems to the school.

• Give a different scenario response, from the one that is address below:

• Challenge the course of action and give appropriate feedback.
• List any alternative decisions and justify why those would be appropriate as well

In case 2, I believe the ethical issue is that Emily does not know what to do. Since there are no records of the computers being donated, she could take one for her son, and no one would know besides herself. The school could, however, say we are supposed to get 12 computers, and if she only delivers 11, there would be no record stating that they were to get 12 as the company does not keep records on the computers they are donating. It could be easy for her to take one, but this could be ethically wrong of Emily as she would technically be stealing from her company. The first step towards a course of action the company should take would be to start documenting what they are donating and keeping accurate records. Without maintaining records of data, it seems that there are various ways that employees could be stealing from the company. Another course of action would be to have the employees in charge of equipment drop-offs fill out drop-off logs to ensure that each device is accounted for before they leave and then once they reach their destination.

An example would be having the top school sign the form for every laptop received. If there were only 11 signatures, we would know that a computer was missing. Employee theft is one of the most significant ways that someone can steal. Depending on the dollar amount or quantity of something being stolen, there could be some legal ramifications. Anything stolen over a specific dollar amount can be considered a federal crime. Therefore if Emily stole multiple computers or any other devices the company may offer, she could get into serious legal trouble when the company realizes what she could have stolen from them. My job as an internal auditor is to catch people stealing, so unfortunately, I know this is true and happening everywhere. Employees have found creative ways to steal from their employers.
