Xavier works as an accountant for O’Hara Travel Services. He prepared the trial balance at the end of the period
and discovered that it did not balance. The total debit balance was significantly larger than the total credit
balance. Xavier believes that Mrs. O’Hara, the company’s owner, would be happy if the net income figure was
higher so that she can show the lender that the company is very profitable. Therefore, Xavier decides to balance
the debit and credit sides by increasing the service revenue account balance, and therefore increasing the credit
side of the trial balance. Did Xavier behave in an ethical manner? Explain.

Sassy Salon is a small hair salon with only three employees—two hairdressers, and an accountant who also acts
as the receptionist, cashier, and performs other miscellaneous tasks to keep the salon operational. Sassy Salon
uses a computerized accounting system, where the accountant is supposed to enter each credit card and cash
receipt transaction as soon as a customer pays. Based on the accountant’s input, the computerized accounting
system automatically prepares journal entries, posts the entries to ledgers and prepares a trial balance at the
end of the period. Sometimes, the amount of cash on hand at the end of the period is not the same as the
cash balance reported by the computerized accounting system. This is mostly due to the accountant forgetting
to input a transaction or making other mistakes, especially when the salon is busy and the amount of work
is overwhelming. When there is a discrepancy, the accountant always has a difficult time locating the error
and explaining the discrepancy to the business owner. Therefore, the accountant proposes to the owner that
rather than inputting each sales transaction separately, she will wait until the end of the period to count the
amount of cash on hand and enter sales transactions based on that amount. By doing so, there will never be
a discrepancy. It also reduces the amount of work for the accountant, which allows her to focus on servicing
customers. Should the owner approve the accountant’s proposed change? Why or why not?
