Vanessa Jones is the assistant chief accountant at IBT Company, a manufacturer of computer chips and cellular phones. The compan

y presently has total sales of $20 million. It is the end of the first quarter and Vanessa is hurriedly trying to prepare a trial balance so that quarterly financial statements can be prepared and released to management and the regulatory agenicies. THe total credits on the trial balance exceed the debits by $1,000.
In order to meet the 4pm deadline, Vanessa decides to force the debits and credits into balance by adding the amount of the difference to the Equipment account. She chose Equipment because it is one of the larger account balances; percentage wise, it will be the least misstated. Vanessa plugs the difference! She believes that the difference is quite small and will not affect anyone's decisions. She wishes that she had another few days to find the error but realizes that the financial statements are already late.

A. Who are the stakeholders in this situation?

B. What ethical issues are involved?

C. What are Vanessa's alternatives?
