Abstract

ABSTRACT This case examines ethics issues related to the misrepresentation of facts in loan collateral certifications. These issues are faced by an employee and a minority shareholder, both of whom are certified public accountants (CPAs). The case requires that students recognize an ethical dilemma, evaluate alternative courses of action, and make a decision. The case also requires interpretation of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) code of conduct and other professional standards. The interpretation of the AICPA code is particularly challenging for students because they have to determine how the code applies to a CPA who is not an employee of the firm and not in public practice. Because the company conducts a portion of its business in the international environment, the case can easily be modified for use in coverage of international ethics standards established by organizations such as the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants and the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada. The case is applicable for use in both undergraduate or graduate accounting classes and MBA classes. If the case is used early in the curriculum before students have been exposed to ethical reasoning models, the application of ethical decision models should be omitted from the learning objectives. The case is ideal for use as a course‐embedded assessment of student learning objectives. Teaching Notes include critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and written communications assessment rubrics. RÉSUMÉ Les auteurs examinent les questions d'éthique liées à l'inexactitude de l'information relative aux faits, dans le cadre des attestations de garanties d'emprunt. Il s'agit de questions auxquelles font face un employé et un actionnaire minoritaire, tous deux CPA. Dans la résolution du cas, les étudiants sont appelés à cerner un dilemme éthique, à évaluer les plans d'action possibles et à prendre une décision. Le cas exige également l'interprétation du code de déontologie de l'AICPA et d'autres normes professionnelles. L'interprétation du code est particulièrement exigeante pour les étudiants, car ils doivent déterminer comment le code s'applique à un CPA qui n'est pas employé de la société et qui n'exerce pas l'expertise comptable. La société exerçant une partie de ses activités sur les marchés internationaux, le cas peut facilement être adapté à l'étude des normes éthiques internationales établies par des organismes comme l'Institut Canadien des Comptables Agréés et l'Association des comptables généraux accrédités du Canada. Le cas peut être appliqué au contexte des cours de comptabilité de premier cycle aussi bien qu'à celui des cours de comptabilité de cycles supérieurs, dont le MBA. S'il est utilisé au début du cours, avant que les étudiants aient été exposés à des modèles de raisonnement éthique, l'application des modèles décisionnels éthiques devrait être omise des objectifs d'apprentissage. Le cas proposé est idéal pour l'évaluation didactique des objectifs d'apprentissage des étudiants. Les notes pédagogiques englobent les rubriques d'évaluation que sont la pensée critique, le raisonnement éthique et les communications écrites.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
