1. What would you have done if you were Carla? Why?
I have to ensure that I maintain my commitment, consciousness, and competency as a senior human resources executive. Since I have doubts about the modifications, I will ask for another copy made by the Consulting firm without alteration from the Vice President and analyze the summary profile again then compare it with the tampered one. I will investigate the reasons as to why some were changed from “promotable” to “not promotable” and see if they’ve done something significant that cost them that. I would gather proofs silently and look for the possible hidden motives of the Vice President before presenting it to the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors so that I would not appear as someone who makes baseless accusation. I cannot let someone’s greediness and internal politics for promotion ruin the company. It is part of my job to consciously practice and apply moral beliefs to my daily actions and the urge to do the right thing no matter what the cost is because I am responsible in adding value to the company I represent by contributing to their ethical success.
2. What consequences would you have expected?
If the Vice President is plotting something behind the scene, I expect him to lash out on me, or worse fire me after hindering him from his evil plan. He might get offended by my doubtful nature against him if he is not truly doing something wrong or the modifications he made was just for a better purpose.
3. Which of the three types of Internal Control was applied? Explain.
Internal auditing was applied among the three because Carla evaluate and report to the highest level in an organization: in this case study, it is the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. It was one of Carla's duty to provide and maintain accurate summary profile to the highest tier of management. Carla Banal was also a part of the organization as senior human resources executive reporting to the Vice President of Employee Relations. These three reasons make up the definition of Internal Auditing.
