When Pat was hired he signed a document stating that he understood the company’s stance as an at-will employer, therefore, since no contract stating the duration of employment, aNewCorp could terminate Pat for any reason except for an illegal one (Cheeseman, 2010). On these grounds, NewCorp is within law regarding at-will unless there was an illegal reason for the discharge. Pat believes the provision in the employee personal manual and the disagreement regarding his position in the board meeting makes the discharge wrong. Pat will have to prove that the discharge was indeed a wrongful discharge by there being “a violation of state or federal
This case relates to practice issues in regards whether or not to project an error to the sample population. This case is unique in the fact that it’s hard to parallel it to other cases discussed in class thus far. DeBurger had no specific evidence that the inventory account balance was materially misstated. He was only able to formulate his assumption from working with the speculation that Marcelle’s was going to write off the inventory of two of their sales departments. Other cases discussed in class have shown the fraud being perpetrated to have intent behind it.
Now I would like to discuss the characteristics of a psychopath listed by DSM with a reference to th corporations: Failure to conform to social norms: here, lawful behavior is the key topic. Psychopaths do not adapt their behavior to fit into the society, they rather look for an opening to use in order to fit the society to their behavior. So do the corporations. Very often corporations look for a situation (mostly in law) to take advantage of it using their workers as tools and means to reach their goal of power and profit. Deceitfulness: deceiving others for one's own welfare, not restraining from conning and telling lies.
Anderson didn’t do this. He swindled the investors, and the public by keeping all information quiet. Anderson did amount of contribute to the disaster when they overlooked the management by the let down to have Enron direct and enforce their own company internal controls. The flaws that Anderson had is his own internal control. There has to been beliefs the partners were more motivation by the revenues recognition, overlooking things and providing services to the company.
“Spaying is a general term used to describe the ovariohysterectomy of a female animal” while “Neutering is a general term used to describe the castration of a male animal (American Humane Association, 2011).” In more simple terms, spaying and neutering renders the animal sterile through surgical means, and therefore, it permanently prevents them from having litters. In addition to the sterilization caused by these procedures, there are also health benefits that arise from having your pet spayed or neutered. According to the American Humane Association, there are both instant and long term benefits of these procedures. A spayed a female cat “eliminates the constant crying and nervous pacing,” and “eliminates the messiness associated with the heat cycle (American Humane Association, 2011)” for female dogs. In both male cats and dogs, neutering can “prevent certain undesirable sexual behaviors, such as urine marking, humping, male aggression and the urge to roam.” Also, animals in multi-pet houses are far more likely to get along with one another if they are “fixed.” Long term health benefits for spayed females of both species (when completed before the animal’s first “heat” cycle) include nearly completely eliminating the risk of breast cancer, and fully eliminating any chance of uterine infections and uterine cancer.
Diet for Dogs with Bladder Stones Dietary therapy is useful for treating and preventing struvite stones in pets. Since the struvite stones form in urine with a high pH (alkaline urine), diets should help to maintain a low pH (acidic urine). Diets with animal-based protein sources are most important in maintaining an acidic pH, while vegetarian or cereal-based diets are more likely to cause and alkaline urine. Homemade diets are preferred for dogs with chronic bladder disorders such as bladder stones. If processed foods must be fed, most holistic veterinarians prefer canned diets, which contain large amounts of water, rather than dry foods.
According to FCPA, it is illegal in the United States to bribe or accept a bribe in return for favors, and most statewide business will abide by these laws. However, when they relocate a division to another country, the company may overlook these laws in order to set up business sooner. This practice is unethical and the company and the employees involved can get into a lot of trouble. According to Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a company cannot keep separate books in order to hide bribe money. Avery Dennison, UTStarcom and Siemens are just a few companies that
In fact, all countries consider this type of payment illegal as I mentioned before. Extortion as I said is a little different; it is illegal to practice in United States but in some countries is not considered illegal. Extortion can be justified once a payment can be justified by stating, the payment is needed in order to keep the contract or work started. All these types of bribes are considered illegal except for extortion that is only considered illegal in the United State. Meanwhile, the fact behind these laws of bribery is somehow complicated and also depends on how the gifts are being presented or how it’s being demanded for.
Behaviors are not aligned with the institution’s professed goals; rather they are skewed to preserve the rank, power, salaries, and security of rank-holders” (Fuller, p. 29). The corporate face of rank abuse is arrogance, none more so than of the monopolist who owns a market and can dispense with good service. Such organizations act as if they “own” both their customers and employees. The truth is they own neither” (Fuller, p. 31).
The contract was held voidable because the threats of personal violence were a factor in the claimant’s decision, even though he may have entered the contract without the threats being made as he stood to gain. One of the problems with economic duress
