    Sophie is a new salesperson who is unsure how to complete her expense report after traveling with Emma, a more experienced coworker. Emma files expense reports that include tips and exceed company policies. Sophie must decide whether to follow Emma's lead and potentially violate policies or file accurately according to guidelines. She has several options to consider, including discussing the issue with accounting or reporting Emma, but each choice carries risks to her job and relationships. When company policies conflict with normal practices, it is best for Sophie to consult others and address the underlying issues with accounting directly.

    Roll no-89

    Subject :- Business Ethics
    Div B M.M.S
    Faculty Name:- Dr.Ajay Kumar Gupta
    Total no of Pages:- 2

    What should Sophie report in her expense report?


    ANS:- I think she should stick with what Emma said to her to add the tips in the expense report
    with the help of some illegal yet not completely false bills as they actually paid the tips to the
    waiters, cab drivers, bellhops and airport baggage handlers.
    Also the expenses must be not more than 18-20 percent above the bills and should match the
    expense report of Emma as well because they both travelled together.

    Identify The issues Sophie has to resolve?


    ANS:-The following issues need to be solved by Sophie
    1)As the relationship between Sophie and Emma is not yet rock solid Sophie is trying to
    understand Emma.

    2)Emma shows Sophie her working style and how she fills the expense report.
    Emma files her report against the company policies.

    3)Sophie has to think whether she will file her report on the basis of company policies or file it as
    Emma has filed as suggested to fill or both will file the same report as the correct one or the
    wrong one.

    Analyse the alternatives for Sophie?


    Some of the alternatives may be right or wrong depending on the consequences and the final
    decision has to be taken by Sophie herself.
    The alternatives are as follows:
    1)Sophie can write a letter stating about the extra expense incurred by the salesperson and
    changes in the layout of the expense form after a discussion with the accounting department
    and also express some alternatives to file the extra expense with some accounting guidelines
    put forward by the company.
    2)Sophie can file her report the same as Emma has done and after filing she can go and talk
    with the accountant regarding her concerns with the layout of the expense report.

    3)There is also another alternative that Sophie files her report the same as Emma and does not
    talk with anyone and take the expense money reimbursed.

    4)Sophie can file her own report with the company set guidelines and let Emma file it her own
    way. In this case there's a chance of a rift between the sales team i.e Emma and Sophie.

    5)Sophie can directly report about Emma’s false practices and explain that the sales team does
    this because of the rigidness of the accounts department to change the format of the expense
    report according to the suggested way.But this could result in loss of job for both Emma and
    Sophie and also of the entire Sales Team.

    What should Sophie do if company policy appears to conflict with the firm’
    corporate culture?

    1)Sophie should find someone or a group of people and seek inspiration from them.

    2)Sophie should keep doing the work that other people in the company are doing and have
    been in the company for a longer period of time.

    3) It is not worth risking the job as the company must be paying for the tips paid so basically
    what is done by the sales team is right.

    4)She should try and talk to more and more employees to get to understand about the
    companies working towards the expense report.

    5)Sophie should address the accounts department of the issues with the report format and try to
    explain that the expenses paid are for the company's trip and it looks embarrassing not tipping
    the workers who earn majorly from the tips given to them.

    6)Sophie should also talk to the Senior Sales Person to get to know about the practices to file
    expense reports which are illegal and that which are acceptable.
