A Company Urgently Needs to Repair Its Fire Alarm System,which

question 117

True/False

A company urgently needs to repair its fire alarm system,which will cost $6,000.The two senior managers who are authorized to approve payments over $5,000 are both on holiday and cannot be reached.The office manager is only authorized to approve payments up to $5,000,but is concerned about the risks and safety factors involved,and wants to have the repair work done immediately.She asks if the contractor could split up the repair bill into two separate invoices,one for parts,and one for labor,so that she could approve both of them separately,and get the work done right away.This action would not be considered unethical,as long as the office manager does not violate specific company rules,or deliberately misrepresent the facts of the situation.
