Learning Objectives

  • Identify the ethical principles and standards relevant to accounting and finance professionals.
  • Recognize ways a company might uncover fraud in the workplace.
  • Define whistleblowing in the context of workplace ethical concerns.
  • Analyze how workplace relationships may influence ethical decision-making and fraud reporting.
  • Determine ways a company might create an ethical culture that allows for whistleblowing.

Course Overview

Workplace relationships can be an important signpost of employee engagement, but they can also complicate ethical decision-making when concerns arise. This course examines how personal relationships at work may influence the way employees respond to suspected misconduct, especially when speaking up could create fear of job loss or workplace consequences.

Using a case based on real-life circumstances, the course explores a potential bribery situation involving a senior manager and a supplier through inflated prices. The scenario is uncovered through a friend at work, creating a practical ethical dilemma around trust, loyalty, fraud awareness, and the decision to report concerns.

Major Topic:

  • Workplace relationships and ethical decision-making
  • Potential bribery through inflated supplier pricing
  • Fraud discovery in the workplace
  • Whistleblowing and fear of retaliation
  • Ethical principles for accounting and finance professionals
  • Creating an ethical culture that supports reporting

Participants will review ethical principles relevant to accounting and finance professionals, consider how companies may uncover fraud, define whistleblowing, and evaluate how an ethical culture can support employees who raise concerns. The session helps professionals recognize the importance of workplace culture, reporting channels, and ethical responsibility when difficult situations arise.
