True/False

Alice is a co-worker who is going through a divorce and has two small children. Alice's husband is not paying the child support the temporary court order requires.

Alice has been able, through diverting checks returned to the company, to take about $2,200 from the company to "temporarily help her cover her bills," as she has explained to you. Not reporting Alice's embezzlement is an ethical breach.
