From the supplier: An employee is being coerced by his superior to make improper entries in the company books so that the latter will look good to top management. The employee, who is reluctant to do so, finds there is nobody with whom he can discuss his dilemma, not even the company's internal and external auditors. The company has an ethics hot-line yet management considers its use as tantamount to whistle-blowing. This case is a clear demonstration of unscrupulous corporate management where those at the top abuse their authority to intimidate subordinates into carrying out unethical practices.
