Cruickshank, Garth & Romano (CGR) is a new real estate appraisal and consulting firm formed by Chris Cruickshank, Wayne Garth, and Richard Romano. The firm provides not only residential, industrial and commercial evaluations, but also consulting services and feasibility analyses in the National Capital Region (NCR). Richard and his two partners have worked for one of the four major NCR firms and are well known in the local real estate community. And recently, Richard has just completed a preliminary evaluation of a property for Watson & Musico, which is one of NCR’s major developers and property owners. However, John Mortimer from Watson & Musico is unsatisfied with the Richard’s evaluation price, he asks Richard to raise the value, otherwise they have no business. This situation is difficult for Richard, because he wants to satisfy John’s needs, but at the same time, he can’t ignore the ethical issue to do that.…

Dr. Williams assistant Jerry does have the training but does not have the ability to make a call for a patient because if he prescribed the wrong dosage amount then there will be in trouble with the patient and also with HIPAA. It will not be in the best interest of Jerry to make this call for Dr. Williams without making a call to Dr. Williams first. In order for this to happen without breaking any laws, Jerry needs to have communication with Dr. Williams. To keep the integrity of office Jerry should ensure that the proper medication and make sure that it is the patient’s correct prescription if Dr. Williams gives the okay for jerry to provide the Valium for the patient. This might have to be a medication that this patient have to go without on his trip.…
She obviously breaks off the relationship with Kevin but cannot afford to lose him as her manager.…
Sarah has two options: a) Fast track Kim to an interview for which she is qualified and as a result, restore cohesion in her department by eliminating the negativity; or b) do not fast-track Kim to an interview and possibly miss out on the opportunity to “reunite” her team. If Sarah were to fast-track Kim, the good consequences will be a result of the wrong actions. However, if Sarah does not fast-track Kim, the consequences of her staying in the human resources (HR) department will lead to negative, long-term consequences. Kim’s leaving the HR department could mean positive results for the greatest number of individuals (utilitarianism). Sarah fast-tracking Kim to an interview she may not want goes against rule-based ethics. The position opening should not be used “as a means to an end”. If Sarah does not want Kim to work in the HR department, then instead of sending her to another department and have her be someone else’s “problem”, the solution would be to fire Kim.…
ETHICS CASE Dilemma of an Accountant In 1976 Senator Lee Metcalf (D-Mont.) released a report on the public accounting industry which rocked the profession. Despite a decade of revisions in rules and regulations (variously established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Accounting Principles Board, and Financial Accounting Standards Board), public accounting firms were still perceived by many on Capitol Hill as biased in favor of their clients, incapable of or unwilling to police themselves, and at times participants in coverups of client affairs. Senator Metcalf even went so far as to suggest nationalizing the industry in light of these activities. Just prior to the Metcalf report, Daniel Potter began working as a staff accountant for Baker…

Ethical Dilemmas are very common in the workplace. Ethical Dilemmas can be seen as a controversial thing for the person who is right in the middle of it. I have two ethical dilemmas for situations in a profession. One situation is when a nurse has personal information about one of her friend’s daughter. The other situation is about an employee during his spare time at work created a new spreadsheet program. There are consequences dealing with some of these dilemmas.…
This case presents a very typical situation that people encounter while working in the corporate environment. What is ethical, what is morally correct and what is just right out against the law are the questions that we all face while working in a corporate environment. Some of the ethical questions are governed by the law facing the situation. For example while working in an investment bank you most probably have access to inside information about upcoming deals that one could possibly use for personal monetary gain or you could act as a tippie and possibly share that confidential information with others. This kind of a situation is definilety governed by the law and you can actually be charged with various insider trading laws and possibly do some jail time as well. The other situation that is presented in the case is purely about ones ethical and moral standards. The analyst either has to compromise her loyalty towards her company B&B or towards her best friend Lori. While the situation presented is not a real zero-sum game, i.e., one player’s loss does not equal to the gain of the other player. When faced in a situation like this one has to think about what decisions can be made that will have the least affect on the players involved. The analyst should not look at the situation she faces as black or white. She should rather think about other options she might have to retain her friend’s loyalty while not compromising her loyalty towards her current employer. For example, Lori has already been laid off by her current employer, Universal group. The Universal group has already broken certain ethical and moral laws by not informing about the situation to B&B. So can the analyst come up with a situation where she can get Lori immediately and legally hired at B&B and convince her to share the information with B&B. In essence Lori will not have to feel guilty about not keeping the information confidential as has been laid off and the…
The decision for the medical staff at the clinic to tell Maria that she was HIV positive without a professional translator and to instead tell her sons was a major breach of ethics and would be considered inexcusable in any professional setting. By using untrained translators, they limited her power to make informed decisions, breaking the autonomy principle of medical ethics. And then they also told her sons, which is a major breach of privacy and a violation of the non-maleficence principle of medical ethics, which could have upset her and lowered her likelihood of returning to the clinic for follow-up. (Skolnik CH4)…
Based on my previous statement, the legal consideration would be if there is not adequate treatment plan being offered, who is at fault for the aftermath. If there is a child produced due to the rape, it can be argued that there was not an adequate level of care given by emergency room physician. And that physician either chose not to or took it into their own hands to make the choice for someone regarding what is best for them. How can that decision be made for the patient, if they are in sound state of mind…

Social Networking is a huge part of everyone’s life. It is becoming even bigger than most people realize. After reading the Ethics Dilemma I am once again torn. There are, of course, two sides to everything. The dilemma is whether you should allow work colleagues or even your boss access to your personal life through social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter.…
