    Accounting Ethics?
    Hi - hope someone can direct me in ways to understand the analyzing of Accounting when it comes to ethics.
    Here is a question:

    You're a cashier at a retail convience store - the store is BUSY... the manager turns around and states just take the cash from customers and we will enter into the cash register when it dies down so that we'll match against sales sold.

    I never really owned a business.. I can think it would affect errors on cash flow and inventory - but trying to identify the ethical dilemma and evaluate at least two courses of action you might consider and why? (the wall is up) can't think... of how to answer this question

    How do you open the expand your thinking caps when your really not experienced in owning a business to compare thoughts or ideas...

    Your assistance will be greatly appreciated

    As this is clearly a homework or exam question please read the big note on the top of the accounting board about where to post this. I am not going to give you the answer that is not what this site is for (we don’t do your homework/exam for you!).

    That being said I reefer you to this post I made about making ethical decisions:
