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

In the given scenario Foot Locker effectively uses contact efficiency by making the consumer find several different brands of shies. At the same time, for companies that manufacture sneakers, selling through Foot Locker will make it easier to reach a lot of potential buyers.
