Ethics and Borrowing Petty Cash

Zoey is working as an accounting intern in a local supply warehouse. Zoey really likes his job as shes learning how a supply company operates, applying what she learned in school, and meeting and working with many employees and vendors. One of the duties Zoey is responsible for is managing the $500 petty cash fund. She likes it because it keeps herbusy and it makes her feel like a regular employee. On occasions, Zoey is short on cash and needs some money for lunch and/or to buy medication for his grandparents so she borrows the cash from the fund. Because Zoey is in charge of the fund, nobody knows that she borrows the money. Zoey always replaces what she borrowed within a few days. She justifies his borrowing by telling herself, no harm, no foul.
