According to the suggestions made by the assistant controller to solve the financial crisis of the company, there existed some inconsistency in some strategies when relating to the IMA standard. The inconsistent strategies included the recording of the sales of $120,000 of software that is still in the public warehouse and also the delay of the closing of the year-end date to elapse into some of the January dates. These strategies will violate the competency as required by the IMA standards (“IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice” 1). For instance, there will be lack of consistency, accuracy, and timeliness of the information recorded. And also the issue of honesty would have been violated by the company. Similarly, the integrity of the organization, as well as that of the employees of the company, would have been violated in relation to the standards of the IMA. The credibility of the information that will be disclosed to the stakeholders will not abide by the principles of the IMA standards (“IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice” 1).
These inconsistencies in the company might interfere with the earnings of the stakeholders since in one way or the other there might be a decrease in profit earned in the organization’s yearly sales. Similarly, the inconsistencies might reduce the number of shareholders of the company since they might lose trust from the management of the organization thereby withdrawing their shares from the firm.

In case Bunch insists that all the suggestions made by the assistant controller have to be followed then Jenkins should discuss the matter with the IMA Ethics Counselor concerning the issue to get appropriate advice and direction to follow because the president of the company insist on the violation of the ethical standards. Jenkins can as well make consultation her attorney concerning the situation of ethical conflict (“IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice” 2).
