Question 6:

Proficient-level:

-Consider this scenario. James Stevens was
taking an accounting course at State University. Also, he was helping companies
find accounting systems that would fit their information needs. He advised one
of his clients to acquire a software computer package that could record
business transactions and prepare financial statements. The licensing agreement
with the software company specified that the basic charge for one site was USD
4,000 and that USD 1,000 must be paid for each additional site where the
software was used. James was pleased that his recommendation to acquire the
software was followed. However, he was upset that management wanted him to
install the software at eight other sites in the company and did not intend to
pay the extra USD 8,000 due the software company. A member of management
stated, “The software company will never know the difference and, besides,
everyone else seems to be pirating software. If they do find out, we will pay
the extra fee at that time. Our expenses are high enough without paying these
unnecessary costs.” James believed he might lose this client if he did not
do as management instructed. Discuss whether you believe this is an ethical
violation.
