Test Your Ethics (by AICPA)

You're on a first date and things are going really well. At the end of dinner, your waiter hands you the check. After reviewing your tab, you realize the appetizer you ordered wasn't included on your bill. What do you do?

• Ignore the waiter's oversight and tip based on the total listed on the bill.

• Don't say anything but leave a larger tip than you normally would.

• Use the money you saved on the appetizer to take your date out for ice cream.

• Bring the oversight to the waiter's attention.

At the end of an important meeting your boss turns to you and compliments the suggestion you had for streamlining the reporting process. The idea actually came from a coworker who shared it with you over lunch last week. What would you do?

• Say thank you and leave it at that.

• Explain that your appreciate her compliment but must admit that you had some help from a coworker.

• Shrug it off confidently saying, "There's plenty more where that came from."

• Tell her that you can't take credit because it was your coworker's idea, but you agree it's a great one, which is why you brought it up int he meeting.

On your commute into work you notice the woman in the car driving in front of you putting on her makeup as she drives. Several minutes later she knocks the side mirror off of a parked car and keeps going. What should you do?

• Get the license plate number of the car in front of you and pull over to leave a note for the owner of the damaged parked car.

• Take a video of the car in front of you, narrating what just happened and post it to YouTube with the hope that the owner of the damaged car will see it.

• Pretend you didn't see anything and continue on your route to work.

• Get the license plate number of the car in front of you and call the non-emergency police number to report the accident.
