The four primary responsibilities of managers include planning, directing, controlling, and decision making. Managers plan by setting goals and objectives for the company and devising strategies for achieving those goals. Then they direct the day-to- day operations of the company in light of the goals and objectives. They control the company by comparing actual results to plans and then use that feedback to adjust plans and operations. Throughout all aspects of these duties, management is making critical business decisions.

Req. 1

While the amount is not large now, the repeated nature of the thefts means that they add up over time. Also, the repeated nature of the thefts increases the severity of Anik Cousineau’s unethical behaviour. A new employee who has engaged in repeated thefts is unlikely to become a valued and trusted employee.

As controller, Mary Gonzales hired Anik, and she is also responsible for the lack of controls that permitted a new employee to commit this theft. However, this is no excuse for Anik’s unethical behaviour. The controller should think carefully whether it is in the company’s interest to keep Anik or fire her immediately. This incident also reflects poorly on Mary’s competence. She needs to learn from the experience and supervise the next bookkeeper more carefully.

Req. 2

The new information makes Mary’s decision more complex. Being new, she may want to discuss the situation with the company president. Even if the bookkeeper believed she was just “borrowing” the money, her behaviour is still unethical. It will probably be difficult to confirm whether Anik did in fact repay money she had taken in the past. Unless Mary can obtain additional clarifying information, one alternative to firing her would be to indicate to Anik that this behaviour will not be tolerated in the future and to establish better controls and closer supervision.
