For this Discussion Board, you will be using the following ethical situation: Kelsey, a senior accountant at a multi-office CPA firm, is assigned to the audit of Compo Corporation. Compo is a closely held corporation and a major client of the firm. During the audit, Kelsey finds a material cutoff error which causes Compo's income to be significantly misstated. Kelsey is aware that the CPA firm's policy clearly states the audit senior must document any potential material adjustment in the work papers. The final determination of materiality is then made by the partner in charge of the audit. Kelsey also knows Compo does not want to make the adjustment. Before wrapping up the field work, the audit manager, Bruce, tells Kelsey, "Let's not mention this adjustment in the work papers. Since Compo is closely held and there are not tax implications, the partner has decided not to force an adjustment. Compo is our largest client. We need to get the Compo work up to the partner as soon as possible." Kelsey is concerned and upset after the conversation with Bruce. Failure to document such a material amount just does not seem right. Original Post Stance: Read through the ethical situation. For the Original Post*, you will answer the following questions: What are the possible alternatives available to Kelsey? From an ethical perspective, what are the benefits and costs to Kelsey for each of the possible alternatives? What action would you take if you were Kelsey? Why?
