Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ann was reprimanded for the mismanagement of public funds done by her employee because she delegated the work to that employee. This experience may have made her realize that the person who delegates remains accountable for the work, even if done by subordinates. Therefore, she is now reluctant to delegate the work out of fear of being held responsible if something goes wrong.
