CEO's Private Investigation
Key issues in the case
This case is about a new CEO known as Cheryl Tobin who contemplates launching an inquiry in a fraud case that might have taken place at the firm. The CEO as a new employee has assumed a legendary position at the company. The position had previously been held by the deceased James Rawlings who was the reckoning force behind the tremendous innovative achievements and success of the company and acquiring new business opportunities, which enabled them to be ahead of other players in the industry. In fact, the deceased CEO met his death while still negotiating for a business deal after succumbing to aneurysm (Finder, Brandon, Kubasik, Comey, Klein & Teuber, 2007).
Before talking over the CEO position by Cheryl, she was an employee of the Boeing Company heading the company's largest units. Their main rivals included Hammond holdings and she was among the active participants in a couple of things at the former company. While working for Boeing, Cheryl acquired information through rumors that the exemplary performance of Hammond and its ability to obtain more business opportunities, was because the then CEO, Rawlings applied illegal rewards. According to Cheryl, this strategy of applying rewards in a liberal manner was meant to coax new business negotiations to favor his company (Queen, 2011).
These were just rumors because she has no evidence. However, Cheryl is concerned that the rumors are likely to be key indicators to the reality that the former CEO had been conducting fishy deals for the company under the full glare of the entire company. She becomes curious: this leads her to have the desire to pursue whether she can substantiate the rumors. First, she starts to interrogate her personal secretary, Terrell. Terrell was a long serving the personal assistant of the former CEO for a period of eighteen years. Therefore, she could provide relevant information that could either kill or fuel Cheryl's suspicion (Finder, Brandon, Kubasik, Comey, Klein & Teuber, 2007).

During times where they are not needed, this would be a waste of resources. Instead, a PMC is there when the military needs it, and when the mission is over, the military no longer has to spend resources to maintain their personnel. Another benefit, although this is also the source of many ethical challenges as will be discussed later, is a PMC's ability to operate more freely than a state's
This researcher rejects the existence of online communities because computer mediated group discussions cannot possibly meet this definition. Weinreich's view is that anyone with even a basic knowledge of sociology understands that information exchange in no way constitutes a community. For a cyber-place with an associated computer mediated group to be labeled as a virtual settlement it is necessary for it to meet a minimum set of conditions. These are:
" G. Lack of Strategic Vision A strategic vision defines the desired or intended future state of an organization or enterprise in terms of its fundamental objective and/or strategic direction. It represents a long-term view of how things should be. Without a strategic vision, a company may achieve short-term tactical success, but is likely to struggle in the long-term (Greenfield, 2000). Indeed, Salomon had been successful for many years as Gutfreund assumed the
In summary, we recommend that the IESBA reconsiders the proposals in the Exposure Draft and provides more guidance on safeguards applicable to sole practitioners and small accounting firms to ensure that the benefits of the changes outweigh the costs to SMEs. Under a principle-based approach, there should be safeguards and practical relief for all practitioners rather than rules-based outright prohibitions. The rewrite of this Independence component of the Code
Hypothetical Incident and Response Investigating Fraud and Embezzlement in White Collar Crime Incident It is believed by the CEO of a medium-sized tech company that the CFO is engaged in the white collar crime of embezzlement.
