The income of reliable provisions is definitely overstated. Rollins took thes actions because he knows the bank will look at his company financial statements for the last fiscal periodin orderto deterine his ability to repay the loan. If he did not alter the company records in his favor, he would run the risk of his loan being denied. I think these action are unethical because they present misleading information about the financial health of the copany, and false information to the bank. As a friend to the accountant I would advise her against being a part of Rollins' fraudulent plans to deceive protential creditors. I would also remind her of her commintment as an accountant to uphold the rules and regulations of general accepted accounting principle (GAAP).

Good answer, marylincathey. I like that you described Rollins' plans as "fraudulent", because "fraud" is what this is, and that's a very important word in this context, from a legal liability standpoint.
