Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ethical challenge in this scenario is loyalty versus truth. The supervisor's request is potentially in conflict with the employee's duty to be truthful and not deceive others, including external auditors. The employee may feel compelled to maintain loyalty to the supervisor or the company but has a responsibility to disclose any material information to auditors that could impact the accuracy of financial information. Concealing information could also potentially be illegal and could result in legal consequences for both the employee and the company.
