California Boiler Case
I have spoken with our President and our CFO regarding this matter, both of whom agree that California Boiler has no cause to protect our confidential information. In fact, we are 100% ESOP - Employee-Owned. Our financial information is announced and available to all employees. Our financial information is also discussed on a monthly and quarterly basis during our staff meetings. Maggie is well aware of this fact. This is a frivolous lawsuit. We do not wish to sign a joint stipulation and protective order.

    Case 1

    I felt the case discussion and summary was well done. It included the majority of the essential components of the case and the facts were summarized in a very organized fashion. The one item I did not find in the summary and the discussion is the final results of the case. After reading the summary it would have been helpful to include a summary of findings from the 600 page audit committee report submitted to the SEC . I would have also like to have known more about the BDO circumstances and charges they faced as the blame centered on them initially (Accounting Today, 1993)…

    Legality and Ethicality of Corporate Governance

    This law requires management to certify the accuracy of financial information. Manipulating financial statements to ensure meeting financial predictions is unethical and illegal. There are several important sections in this law, but the main one applying to this case is section 401. Section 401 requires “each financial statement filed with the SEC to reflect all material correcting adjustments that have been identified by the audit firm in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the commission” (Mintz & Morris, 2011, pg.285).

    Law 310

    Assume that federal health investigators are pursuing a report that one of your manufacturing plants has a higher-than-average incidence of cancer among its employees. The plant happens to keep excellent medical records on all its employees, stretching back for decades, which might help identify the source of the problem. The government demands the files. But if the company turns them over, it might be accused of violating the privacy of all those workers who had submitted to private medical exams. The company offers an abstract of the records, but the government insists on the complete files, with employee names. Then the company tries to obtain releases from all the workers, but some of them refuse. If you give the records to the feds, the company has broken its commitment of confidentiality. What would you do?…

    Discussion Board

    If I personally had to represent this company (ReadyPro) in this case against Martinez by making a confidentiality agreement between two parties would be defined by agreement between the written contracts made before Martinez employment had transpired. Anytime there is a breach of contract, Martinez employment should be disposed of by lack of confidentiality on this persons fault. This agreement was a legitimate business purpose and was applied through Martinez in a business transaction that should allow ReadyPro to be able to tell Martinez when, where and why this contractual agreement was on terms of confidential, but once you get other parties into this contract, then it should be terminated with a quick axe. Facts and reasons for this agreement to be terminated are reasons that Martinez did not disclose this agreement with no other, but Martinez decided to get other parties in this agreement which is dismissal of employment. Facts that Martinez wanted to argue is that they never got proper reimbursement of personal computer use, but if you look in the contract, it said that you will get reimbursement of personal computer use just not the amount, 12 is a reasonable amount for personal use, 15 is steep and 10 is not enough. So ReadyPro will meet in the middle with 12 a day for personal computer use reimbursement. As for other reimbursements as lodging, it should all come in good time, Martinez did not give ReadyPro time and effort to disclose lodging agreement with each other. If I had to represent this case I would state these facts and reasons on why this was a legitimate agreement between two parties.…

    There is a fine line between how much safety a corporation should provide to the consumer regarding its products vs. how much responsibility of safety should fall on the average consumer. Take, for instance, the all too familiar McDonald’s coffee episode. Does McDonald’s have a responsibility to its customers to ensure the coffee isn’t hot enough to scald if spilled upon one’s lap? Or should the customer be held responsible for their own safety in regards to common sense judgment? This is what California Space Heaters, Inc. (CSH) must consider when deciding exactly which products to launch.…
