Abstract
This paper describes two different employees at two different levels of their career field and what ethical dilemma they each fall. The ethical dilemmas, however, are different in their definitions due to the circumstances of each employee at different levels of current career at the time. Fraedrich, Ferrell, and Ferrell (2011) portray the baseline of the employees and their relationship with one another at Aker & Aker Accounting (A&A). This paper examines Fraedrich, Ferrell, and Ferrell’s (2011) case study of the problems that each employee will face and how they will overcome their issues through different means and the ethical dilemmas that occur during and after the problems have arisen.
