FOCUS ON ETHICS (Located before the Chapter Summary in the text.)
E E E E E E E E E E



The focus-on-
E

ethics inset for Chapter 1 is the IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice. Instructors
E E E E E E E E E E E E E E

can use this list of ethical principles and standards to lead a class discussion. The disc
E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E

ussion can also range to consideration of how these standards may have been viol
E E E E E E E E E E E E E

ated by accountants and managers involved in the various ethical scandals uncovered
E E E E E E E E E E E E

over the past several years. It is also useful to discuss the pros and cons of the procedu
E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E

res that IMA suggests for its members when they believe they know about ethical lapse
E E E E E E E E E E E E E E

s in their organizations.

ANSWERS TO REVIEW QUESTIONS E E E



1-1 The explosion in e- E E E

commerce will affect managers in significant ways. One effect will be a drastic re
E E E E E E E E E E E E E

duction in paper work. Millions of transactions between businesses are now bein
E E E E E E E E E E E

g conducted electronically with no hard-
E E E E E

copy documentation. Along withthis method of communicating for business tr
E E E E E E E E E E

ansactions comes the very significant issue of information security. Businesses

E E E E E E E E E E E E

in cloud computing data centers, and while moving across the internet, while
E E E E E E E E E E E

Eat the same time sharing the information necessary to complete transactions. An
E E E E E E E E E E E

other effect of e- E E E

commerce is the dramatically increased speed with which business transactions c
E E E E E E E E E E

an be conducted. In addition, there will be dramatic changes in the way manager
E E E E E E E E E E E E E

ial accounting procedures are carried out, one example being cloud-
E E E E E E E E E
