Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inflating travel expenses is an individual ethical lapse as it involves dishonest behavior and misrepresentation of financial expenses. Shipping out goods early without customer's permission could be a mistake and may not necessarily involve ethical considerations. Following what other competitors are doing and capitalizing ordinary expenses may not necessarily be unethical but could be considered as industry standards or acceptable practices in accounting.
