    After considering the potential consequences of each choice, I think that option C (Refuse on Personal Grounds) is the most ethical decision for Kelly to make in her situation. Option C allows Kelly to avoid personal responsibility and attempt to convince her employer not to pursue illegal activities. Option A (Alter the Accounting Records) is the least ethical choice in my opinion because it blatantly against the law. Option B (Have Someone Else do the Alterations) allows Kelly to avoid personal responsibility; however, this option and option D (Tell the State Auditor) both put the company at risk. Option E (Quit) requires Kelly to start over at a different company and would be a tough choice for her to make.…

    What is the meaning of something being ethical? Ethical is where you do something morally right and being unethical means it’s an action that has been done morally wrong. I honestly think it is not unethical for Kelly to join First Union National Bank solely because the bank will pay for her education. Kelly is just trying to further her education in order to better herself and the bank offered it to her as long as she worked 20 hours. Even if the bank didn’t make a deal with such standards, I think she is entirely open as a human being to look out for herself and take advantage of the offer without a counter offer from the bank.…
