CRJS 270 unit2

As the director of the internal auditing and fraud investigation departments for a large retail company that buys and sells large volumes of products, you have received an anonymous tip from a confidential employee in one of the high-tech warehouses. The confidential employee noted that there was a major embezzlement taking place in one of the divisions. Members of the internal audit department had completed a routine review of the internal control of that division the previous year, and they found that the control system was properly designed and operating effectively. Only minor recommendations were made, and the next review is due 3 years later.

The confidential employee noted the erratic behavior and lavish lifestyle of the warehouse controller and stated that the controller has been over-riding existing controls, which would prevent any audit from being able to detect the embezzlement. The warehouse controller is well-respected and highly trusted by the chief executive officer (CEO) and the chief financial officer (CFO), and their families are involved in the same civic organizations. Investigating the plant controller could cause considerable disruption in the company and the personal lives of the employees.

IMPORTANT NOTES THAT WILL GUIDE YOU WHEN WRITING THIS ASSIGNMENT

Given the situation, discuss some of the options that the company has for handling this situation.

Introduction

I’m sure you’ve all heard of the H.R. nightmare. And if not, you soon will be. It’s a situation where an employee does something that makes their manager extremely uncomfortable (or even offensive), and then they have to deal with it in an effective way. This is often followed by a very awkward conversation between the two parties involved–especially if there are other people around!

What is the best way to handle the situation?

The team needs to discuss how they will handle the situation. They must be open to different solutions and communicate clearly, be able to solve problems, and work together.

What are the downsides of each option?

The first downside is that the company may have to take a loss on the deal.

The second downside is that the company may need to find another supplier.

The third downside is that the company may lose a customer.

In what ways do these options contribute to the business’ goals?

In what ways do these options contribute to the business’ goals?

• Option 1: The company can terminate all employees who have been involved in the incident and request that they take time off without pay. This would allow for a clean slate to be established, and it would also help protect them from any future liability. However, this could be expensive in terms of legal fees and severance payouts if there are many people who were involved in the situation.
• Option 2: The company can hire new employees who were not present at the event or otherwise know anything about it—this will help restore trust among customers by giving them reassurance that their products are safe now that everyone has gone through training together (or whatever else). However, this option could also potentially lead to lawsuits against both parties if one party feels like they’re being treated unfairly because someone else was hired over them despite being qualified as well (e.g., being black). Also note that even though these two options might seem similar on paper (like hiring someone new vs terminating employees), each has its own unique pros/cons depending on where you sit within your organization:

How can we make sure that emotions stay out of this discussion?

In the interest of keeping emotions out of this discussion, we should keep things as neutral as possible. We can do this by using a neutral tone and avoiding personal pronouns. For example, instead of saying “I’m angry,” say “It is clear that you are upset.”

We also need to avoid negative language such as sarcasm and jargon because it can make people feel uncomfortable or insulted. Using slang or slang-like terms is another way that might alienate people from your argument—and if you don’t know what they mean (and chances are good that most people won’t), then why would anyone want to hear about them? The same goes for slang-heavy Twitter accounts; if someone finds themselves going down a rabbit hole reading one too many tweets about #bae, then maybe it’s time for them to take some breaks from social media altogether!

The team needs to discuss how they will handle the situation.

The team needs to discuss how they will handle the situation.

The team should consider the following:

• Pros and cons of each option
• Impact on business (e.g., increased costs, decreased sales)
• How to keep emotions out of the discussion

Conclusion

Now that the team has discussed their options, it’s time to make a decision. What will be the best approach for this situation? This is a question that should not be answered with emotion; it needs to be decided based on what is best for the business as well as how we can manage our emotions during this difficult time.
