FR – Aug 2022 – L2 – Q5a – Professional and Ethical Issues in Financial Reporting

Discuss the potential ethical issues in breaching IFAC’s Code of Ethics and recommend actions to deal with the ethical dilemma in the context of project reporting.

You are a newly qualified accountant in practice, and you lead a team providing management consultancy services. In recent years, your practice has undertaken several assignments on manufacturing efficiency improvements for medium-sized, listed groups of companies in Ghana.

He mentions that the Regional Director informed the Board that the additional costs would only be GH¢4 million to GH¢5 million, with a delay of about six to eight weeks. He asks for confirmation of this information before the upcoming Board meeting, where they will discuss remedial actions for the group’s cash flow.

Required:

i) Discuss the potential ethical issues involved in breaching the fundamental principles of IFAC’s Code of Ethics. (5 marks)
