BUSINESS LEADERSHIP AND HUMAN VALUES

/in /by

BUSINESS LEADERSHIP AND HUMAN VALUES. Learning Objective The purpose of the Ethics Case Brief is to demonstrate your ability to develop and justify an action plan to manage an ethical challenge.

Overview The Ethics Case Brief is a formal paper (<2,500 words) that frames, evaluates, and develops an action plan for managing an ethical challenge that you have identified. This is your opportunity to demonstrate everything you know about applying human values to the challenges of business leadership.

In writing your EthicsCase Brief, you should select an ethical problem either from current business news or from your own observation or experience. Remember that you are conducting an ethical analysis to develop an action plan, so your brief will be evaluated for your framing of the problem, the arguments you make, and the evidence and expertise you apply to support your arguments.

Your choice of a problem, its complexity, and its relevance for contemporary business will be considered in your grade for this assignment. It is in your interest to choose a unique, complex, and relevant problem that has not been widely discussed or evaluated to demonstrate your values, intelligence, and skill.

You will conduct your own ethical analysis of a scenario and develop an action plan using the tools, methods, and frameworks from the course as well as your own independent inquiry and thought.

You may consult any and all learning materials from the seminar and elsewhere; you may also consult and discuss the case with others. The written brief, however, must be entirely your own work. If you do consult other sources, you must credit and cite them properly in APA format.

 

Execution Steps You are advised to begin thinking about the Ethics Case Brief early on so that you are ready to concentrate on it as soon as your Moral Compass Essay is completed. Be sure to follow each step of the outline below and address each relevant question.

Title of the Case: (How will you identify this case?) Source: (What is the source of your information about this case?)

Case Overview “Big picture” interpretation of the case in one or two sentences. How would you characterize the moral challenge of this case? Why is this case morally important?

Key Facts Your factual discovery of key events, actors, and evidence: What relevant events, people, and evidence are key to understanding the situation or problem? What contextual/ technical knowledge needs to be considered? What are your sources for the facts of the case and how reliable are they?

and duties constitute the moral challenge of the case? What values, Wisdom Traditions, and moral arguments support their claims? How valid and sound are those claims?

• What competing or contested values, claims, or duties complicate this case? Which stakeholders have more urgent and compelling claims? Why?

• What similar cases or situations are useful as analogues for evaluating this case?

Option Analysis Your interpretation of options. What are the feasible options for the key moral actor to consider in resolving the moral problem? On what grounds are they morally justified?

Decision Your action recommendation. Which option is the most ethical, and on what grounds? How does the action express/reflect your core values?

Ernst & Young Fined $100 Million in Ethics Exam-Cheating Probe Big Four firm accused of misleading regulators about June 2019 report of testing misconduct

By Dave Michaels Follow Updated June 28, 2022 6:20 am ET

WASHINGTON—Ernst & Young agreed to pay a record $100 million fine and to admit that

some of its auditors cheated on required ethics exams in recent years, according to a settlement

order released on Tuesday.

The Securities and Exchange Commission said the penalty is the largest fine ever imposed on an

audit firm, and stemmed partly from EY’s failure to report the scandal to regulators who had

asked the firm about such misbehavior.

The case is the latest reputational setback for a profession entrusted with overseeing the

reliability of public companies’ financial statements. KPMG LLP, another of the Big Four

accounting firms, was fined $50 million in 2019 over ethical violations including claims that

some auditors cheated on training exams.

“It’s simply outrageous that the very professionals responsible for catching cheating by clients

cheated on ethics exams of all things,” said SEC Enforcement Director Gurbir Grewal. “And it’s

equally shocking that Ernst & Young hindered our investigation of this misconduct.”

EY said that “nothing [at the firm] is more important than our integrity and our ethics.” It said

the firm doesn’t tolerate cheating on exams, adding that its “response to this unacceptable past

behavior has been thorough, extensive, and effective.”

The settlement could complicate an effort by the firm’s top leaders to split EY into separate

auditing and consulting firms. The executives would have known about the SEC’s investigation

as they planned for the possible breakup.

EY received a tip from an internal whistleblower in June 2019 that employees were cheating on

ethics exams, which state accounting boards require as part of both initial and continuing

license requirements, according to the SEC. The regulator had accused KPMG that same month

of a massive ethics breach that included extensive cheating on continuing-education exams. It

also accused several former KPMG partners of illicitly obtaining a secret list of their past audits

that would be subject to surprise regulatory examinations.

Following up on the KPMG probe, the SEC asked EY in June 2019 about any reports the firm

had received about testing misconduct. EY disclosed some past instances of cheating, but didn’t

reveal the latest whistleblower report focused on ethics tests.

The firm’s response to the SEC was misleading because it implied EY “did not have any current

issues with cheating,” the SEC wrote in the settlement order.

Instead of quickly disclosing the tip to the SEC, EY started its own investigation, hoping to learn

more about the claim and to come up with a plan to address any problems, according to the

settlement order. EY’s top lawyers and executives knew within months that “the cheating

involved more than a small number of individuals in a single office,” the order said.

As part of its settlement, in addition to the $100 million fine, EY must pay for two separate

compliance reviews conducted by outside firms. One review will examine internal policies

designed to promote ethics and integrity, while the other will seek to assess how EY’s lawyers

and managers responded to the SEC in June 2019 when the agency asked about reports of

cheating. Regulators couldn’t access some of those facts during their investigation because they

were laid out in legal advice that passed between EY lawyers and executives, SEC officials said.

The second review is designed to find out “whether any member of EY’s executive team, General

Counsel’s office, compliance staff or other EY employees contributed to the firm’s failure to

correct its misleading submission,” the SEC’s order says.

The consultant in charge of that review will be empowered to recommend disciplinary actions,

and EY’s top executives will have to certify whether they implemented them. The report itself

will be confidential and won’t be shared with the SEC.

EY has terminated some employees over the wrongdoing, according to the SEC, which didn’t

sue or settle with any individuals on Tuesday. Regulators said they are continuing to investigate

and could pursue cases against other defendants in the future.

While the $100 million penalty is large by regulatory standards, the SEC has been levying high

fines over the past year.

Charles Schwab Corp. agreed earlier this month to pay more than $186 million to settle an SEC

investigation. JPMorgan Chase & Co. paid $200 million in December and admitted that it ran

afoul of broker-dealer record-keeping requirements.

SEC officials said EY has a history of regulatory violations and cheating on training exams by

audit employees. From 2012 to 2015, more than 200 EY employees rigged their scores on

continuing-education exams by exploiting a flaw in testing software, according to the settlement

order.

After other documented episodes of cheating in 2016 and 2017, EY warned U.S. employees that

such misconduct could result in termination, according to the SEC. EY’s managing partner sent

a similar message in June 2019. Since then, 91 audit professionals “requested, used or shared

answer keys with colleagues,” the SEC’s order said.

Appeared in the June 29, 2022, print edition as ‘EY to Pay $100 Million Fine In Ethics-Cheating Scandal’.

The nation’s largest accounting firms have been under scrutiny for other reasons, including

conflicts of interest embedded in their practice of operating both auditing and consulting

businesses. The Wall Street Journal has reported that EY is weighing a plan to divide into an

audit-focused company and a consulting firm, a split that would be the biggest structural

change at a Big Four firm in roughly two decades.

It couldn’t be immediately learned whether the SEC investigation had any bearing on EY’s plan

for the potential split.

Critics of the plan have said it could leave the firm charged with audit duties vulnerable to big

fines if they have problems with regulators or botch audits. EY expects the consulting firm to

grow faster than the auditing firm, and the consultants will effectively pay the auditors to let

them leave to form the new entity.

In addition to the cheating scandal, a string of failed audits has caused EY reputational damage.

EY’s German arm is being sued over its audits of German fintech company Wirecard AG, which

filed for insolvency in 2020 after saying that €1.9 billion (about $2 billion) in assets likely never

existed. In the U.K., EY faces a claim for $2.7 billion from the administrator of hospital operator

NMC Health PLC, which in 2020 filed for bankruptcy after the discovery of billions of dollars of

undisclosed debt. EY was also the auditor for China’s Luckin Coffee Inc., which allegedly used

fake orders to overstate sales.
