Posted: 4/22/13 7:40 AM, by: David Fryoux (djfryoux@email.phoenix.edu) If I were Norm, I would tell Sam that “the best thing to do is what you have studied to do. Don’t worry about fraud, unless you suspect it. You are an accountant, do what accountants do. If you see something that does not look right, then you can deal with it. You shouldn't’t allow the actions or non-actions of others deter you from doing what you are to do. You cannot hod your expectancies to others. You are learning to use expertise in measurement and disclosure, it is good that you see faults in others, but it should not change your mind on what you are studying for.” If I were Sam, I would tell Norm, “Integrity in this line of business is what is at stake, regardless of what others are doing or overlooking, I am going to be the best accountant I can, and since I can see what is going on with these other guys, I am going to maintain my integrity and character, and do what I am studying to do.”
