Explanation:

<em>From the example given, Joel Kimmel is not behaving in professional manner . </em>

<em>The function  of  Bank Reconciliation Statement at normal interval is to restore the differences in  the bank cash book and pass book</em>

<em>When the mistake was discovered by Joel, it is his responsibility to make it known to the manager of the bank bank and do the right corrections of  balance in the pass book of the bank.</em>

Answer:

Joel is behaving in a totally unprofessional & unethical manner

Explanation:

As assistant controller, Joel Kimmel's job specification & responsibility includes financial statement preparation & combination, putting of internal controls in place, detailed analysis & reporting of cost variance, acts as the go-between with external auditors amongst other such responsibilities.

As such, when Joel discovered the cost discrepancy during the reconciliation, it was actually his responsibility to call the bank's attention to the variance. This is something that clearly falls under his job specification & can be considered as neglect of duty. Joel's decision defeats the very purpose of bank reconciliation, which is to correct any such discrepancy & to the ensure the rectification of transactions. Most importantly, the decision Joel plans to take is very unethical & is against standard accounting practices

We can therefore, say that Joel's decision is thoroughly unethical & unprofessional
