FOCUS ON ETHICS (Located before the Chapter Summary in the text.)
r r r r r r r r r r
The focus-on-
r
ethics inset for Chapter 1 is the IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice. Instructors ca
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
n use this list of ethical principles and standards to lead a class discussion. The discussi
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
on can also range to consideration of how these standards may have been violated by
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
accountants and managers involved in the various ethical scandals uncovered over the p
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
ast several years. It is also useful to discuss the pros and cons of the procedures that IMA
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
suggests for its members when they believe they know about ethical lapses in their organ
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
izations.
ANSWERS TO REVIEW QUESTIONS r r r
1-1 The explosion in e-
r r r
commerce will affect managers in significant ways. One effect will be a drastic redu
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
ction in paper work. Millions of transactions between businesses are now being co
r r r r r r r r r r r r
nducted electronically with no hard- r r r r
copy documentation. Along withthis method of communicating for business tra
r r r r r r r r r r
nsactions comes the very significant issue of information security. Businesses nee
r r r r r r r r r r
d to find ways to protect confidential information in their own computers, in cl
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
oud computing data centers, and while moving across the internet, while at the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
same time sharing the information necessary to complete transactions. Another effe
r r r r r r r r r r
ct of e-r r
commerce is the dramatically increased speed with which business transactions ca
r r r r r r r r r r
n be conducted. In addition, there will be dramatic changes in the way managerial
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
accounting procedures are carried out, one example being cloud-
r r r r r r r r
based budgeting, which is the enterprise-
r r r r r
wide and electroniccompletion of a company’s budgeting process using cloud-
r r r r r r r r r r
based software and data storage.
