Summary:

The case allows students to reflect on a simple real life situation from both an ethical and accounting perspective. It illustrates an ethical dilemma faced by Mrs. Lee during an evening out at a large chain restaurant during her vacation. The waiter offered to provide her with a receipt only if she paid by credit card because the printer was broken. Mrs. Lee, a professional accountant (Certified Management Accountant and Certified Public Accountant), suspected the waiters intentions were fraudulent. She quickly evaluated through observation the weaknesses in internal control and the potential presence of fraud to make her decision. The case illustrates an ethical dilemma, the collection and sales cycle, and common, related internal control deficiencies in a restaurant setting.
