BUSN412 – Week 7 You Decide Transcript
Scenario
Betty King is the new controller at EZdot.com. The previous controller was fired for
“incompetence.” Ezdot.com has some severe cash-flow problems that have become exacerbated
by the recent acquisition of another firm. The financials of both EZ and the other firm are as
clear. The new company has 450 employees that have a “can do” attitude. EZ’s bank is seriously
concerned about the company’s viability. Betty discovers that her new boss, Ryan Roberts, who
is EZ’s president and major shareholder, is holding a substantial amount of checks from
customers in his desk without telling her. Ryan also plays with the firm’s float on a daily basis.
(Float is the money that is used on a day-to-day basis for operations.) It’s close to tax time. The
bank wants to know what is occurring and has a meeting with Betty today.

Ryan Roberts President
Yes, I am holding a substantial amount of checks from customers in my desk, but what’s the
problem with this? I’m the president and a major shareholder, so I don’t think this should be a
big concern for you.
John Smith Banker
It seems as though someone at EZ is playing with the firm’s float on a daily basis. This is the
money that is used on a day-to-day basis for operations. We have some concerns here at the bank
and want to get to the bottom of this at our meeting today.
Activity:
Write a 2-3 page paper describing what, ethically speaking; you would do if faced with this
scenario.
