As chairman of an accounting firm in a large city, you were prepared to promote one of your vice chairmen to the position of managing partner. Your decision was based on a record of outstanding performance by this person over the eight years she has been with the firm. A new personnel director recently insisted on implementing a policy of resume checks for hires and current employees receiving promotions who had not been through such checks. Unfortunately, it was discovered that although the vice chairman claimed to have an MBA from the University of Michigan, she dropped out before completing her last 20 units of course work. Applying one of the prescriptive principles for ethical decision making, what would you do and why? Be sure to specify which prescriptive principle you are applying and how you are applying it. In other words, “show your reasoning.” You may use any of the principles we discussed in class on Tuesday (found in the Prescriptive Ethical Decision Making powerpoint) or from the videos you watched.
