Suppose Amy Windahl left the kickoff meeting with a list of more than 200 assets that needed to be evaluated. When she looked at the amount of effort needed to finish assessing the asset values and their risk evaluations, she decided to “fudge” the numbers so that she could attend a concert and then spend the weekend with her friends. In the hour just before the meeting in which the data was due, she made up some values without much consideration beyond filling in the blanks. Is Amy’s approach to her assignment ethical?

After the kickoff meeting, suppose Charlie had said, “Amy, the assets in your department are not that big of a deal for the company, but everyone on the team has to submit something. Just put anything on the forms so we can check you off the list, and then you will get the bonus being paid to all team members. You can buy me lunch for the favor.”
