case study.

Ethics are a huge part of management accounting. Competence. condentiality. Integrity. and credibility are standards that must be adhered to. With that In mind. read the following: You have recently been hired by a chemical processing company as assistant controller. You ask the plant supervisor the company procedures for handling toxic waste materials. The plant supervisor advises you that he is not involved in the disposal of wastes and suggests that you might be wise to ignore the Issue. This makes you suspicious. so you dig deeper and find out that is using a nearby residential landfill to dump toxic wastes - an illegal activity. It appears that some members of the management team were aware of this situation and may be been involved in arranging for this dumping. However. you are unable to determine whether your supervisor. the controller. is involved. You are uncertain how to proceed. You see four options: 1. Seek the advice of your superior. the controller. 2. Anonymously release the information to the local newspaper. 3. Discuss the matter with an outside member of the board of directors with whom you are acquainted. 4. Take the advice of the plant manager, and ignore it. What would you do? Discuss this fully with your group and try to compare the business ethic between your country and Canada. Please look at the issue from different level.
