You have been hired by your dream company as an Ethics and Compliance Officer. Your job is to ensure compliance with ethical business practices, company policies, and local legal/regulatory requirements. The company provided you with this list of situations that could cause problems in the future if not resolved in the next few months:

Employees have been taking office supplies (paper, pens, and ink) home with them when leaving work.

A supervisor had been seen outside of work having drinks with an employee that works for them.

• William has worked for the company for 11 years. Recently he was passed over for a promotion. Co-workers have commented that William has been making negative comments on various social media sites about the company.
• Bob, a senior buyer with the company, has been participating in a rewards program from one of your main suppliers. Bob has been receiving gifts, under the rewards program, for his personal use based on the amount of merchandise he is buying from the supplier for company use.
• Your supervisor has asked you to write a report addressing each of these issues. In the report, you should discuss the dangers for the company that each of these situations present. You should also present your perspectives on how each of these situations could negatively affect the reputation of the company (In other words – WHAT is the “problem”) and how each situation will be resolved (In other words, WHAT is your “solution” for each problem).
