Machine Malfunction. Bruno, the president of a corporation operating work out facilities, convinced the board of directors to ap

prove a large purchase of a type of fitness machine called "Perfect Body." Bruno had carefully investigated the machine and did a presentation to the board on its purported benefits. Unfortunately, after the purchase, it was announced that "Perfect Body" was actually a very dangerous machine that should not be used. The manufacturer of "Perfect Body" went bankrupt, and the corporation lost $200,000 on the purchase of the machines. The shareholders are furious and want to sue Bruno and the directors. The board of directors agrees to allow Frances, the ringleader of the shareholders, to purchase stock of the company at below its fair market value. She purchases a considerable amount of stock on that basis, but says that the shareholders plan to continue with an action against Bruno and the board members.
Required:
1. Under which of the following should Bruno and the board of directors defend themselves in an action brought by shareholders for harming the corporation?
O The Superior Judgment Rule
O The Research and Investigation Rule
O The Business Judgment Rule
O The Rule of Corporate Integrity

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": The Business Judgment Rule.

Explanation:

The Business Judgment Rule is a law that protects a company's Board of Directors (BoD) from inconsistent allegations from shareholders stating that the BoD is acting against the stakeholders' interest. The law presumes that members of the BoD act in "<em>good faith</em>" and that they do not always make the best decisions.  

The Business Judgment Rule helps managers, in such a way, to avoid laws where there is no substantial proof that they had intentions to go against the investors' will.

Answer:

Bribery in the world of business typically happens when an organization or representative of an organization gives financial benefits to an official to gain favor or manipulate a business decision - True.

Bribery is the giving or offering of items of value (especially money) to a government official in exchange for favorable treatment. Bribing is unethical and illegal, but it is common practice in many countries, so common that it is expected.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act was implemented in the aftermath of disclosures that businesses were violating the IMA Code of Ethics - True.

In the seventies, U.S. Government investigations found that hundreds of U.S. companies operating abroad had turned to bribery in order to gain the favor of foreing officials. This conduct is related to the statement explained above: bribery is pervasive in many countries around the world.

Managers are required to follow specific rules issued by the IMA for internal financial reporting. - False.

The IMA Code of Ethics does not provide specific rules for financial reporting (these specific rules are found instead either in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or in the or in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)).

The IMA Code of Ethics instead provides principles, or ethical guidelines, to be followed by participants in the management accounting profession.

Ethics is more than obeying laws - True.

Ethics goes beyond what is legally right, and is more related to what is morally right. An ethical person should do the right thing even if there is no legal code explicitely telling him to do so.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act addressed public company accounting reform. - True

This act added requirements for public accounting firms, and included legal penalties including possible jail time for certain types of misconduct. The Act was enacted following major accounting scandals such as Enron.
