Final Quiz

1. Which of the following is not one of the three major normative ethical schools of thought?
- Consequentialism
  Consequentialism is one of the three major normative ethical schools of thought along with Deontology and Virtue Ethics.
- Deontological Theory
  Deontology is one of the three major normative ethical schools of thought along with Consequentialism and Virtue Ethics.
- Virtue Ethics
  Virtue ethics is one of the three major normative ethical schools of thought along with Consequentialism and Deontology.
- Applied Ethics
  Normative ethics deals with how to discern whether something is right or wrong. Applied Ethics takes the next step of how to apply a normative system into a practical situation, such as acting morally in a business situation.
A person who has adopted the Consequentialism school of ethical thought would be most likely to take the following actions:
- Act only in a way that a virtuous person would act at all times, even if the end result would be disastrous.
  This is an example of Virtue Ethics.
- Engage in actions that some may view as harsh in order to achieve a worthy and noble goal.
  Consequentialism focuses on the overall end result, not on the actions needing to be taken to achieve it.
- Ask, what is my duty? and behave accordingly irrespective of the outcome.
  This is an example of Deontology.
- Engage in actions to achieve one’s own selfish goal even if the end result causes severe repercussions to many others.
  Inherent in the theory of “ends justifies the means” is the premise that the end is worthy and noble, not a self-serving act that harms many others.
Which of the following items did not contribute to the mortgage crisis during the Great Recession of 2007-2010?
- Regulators who did not hold banks accountable for reckless lending practices.
  Sloppy regulation allowed banks to carry on reckless practices.
- Financial institutions, such as Lehman Brothers and Bear Sterns, which over-leveraged themselves and put themselves in a situation where they would be instantly insolvent should there be an even modest decline in their balance sheet assets.
  Most of the major financial institutions were willing to take on heavy debt loads so they could chase easy and large profits. This increased exponentially the risk that shareholders and employees could lose their investments and their jobs should their bank become insolvent.
- Rating agencies, such as Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s, which gave many mortgage-backed investments stellar ratings even though it was apparent that the assets underlying the MBSs were troubled.
  Had the ratings agencies properly evaluated the MBSs, investors would have had a true indication of the risk they were taking on and would have either not purchased the securities or bought them at an appropriate price. This alone would have reduced or eliminated the unwarranted bubble in real estate prices.
- Banks, such as Toronto-Dominion, which refused to sell MBSs (known as ABCPs in Canada) due to their inherently high risk of loss.
  Had all financial institutions acted as Toronto Dominion, most of the banks would not have put themselves at such high risk of insolvency as discussed in the course materials.
Bob, a sole practitioner CPA, serves as an external auditor for Spicy Suds Car Wash and Taco Stand, Inc. Bob owns 25% of the voting stock of Spicy Suds but does not serve on its management team. Which of the following statements are false:
- Bob has a conflict of interest since he owns a significant stake in Spicy Suds.
  E.T. § 1.110.010 states that ownership interest in a client, especially one as significant as in this example (25%), constitutes a conflict of interest.
- There are no issues that would prevent Bob from performing the audit despite his ownership interest since Bob is not part of Spicy Suds’s management team.
  ET § 1.110.010 states that an interest in the client presents a self-interest threat to Independence.
- Bob, in his role as auditor, would be challenged to be objective since adverse findings would directly impact the value of his stake in Spicy Suds.
  This situation describes the classic conflict of interest situation per ET § 1.110.010.
- Bob’s independence has the appearance of being compromised.
  Even if Bob argues that his independence is not actually compromised, he certainly has the appearance of compromise, per ET § 0.400.21.

  while this situation is an example of advocacy, all of the situations described indicate a threat to independence. Therefore the answer is all of the above.
- Luciano’s has told Krishna that they will hire all of her five children as summer interns if certain EPS targets are reached.
  while this situation is an example of self-interest, all of the situations described indicate a threat to independence. Therefore the answer is all of the above.
- Krishna’s firm had previously been engaged for a series of extensive tax planning projects, some of which were aggressive. Krishna is finding herself having to evaluate these tax planning projects as part of putting together the tax provision.
