Leading with Integrity Leading with Code of Integrity Conduct Dear Sprint team , Success is only meaningful when it is achieved the right way, with the right values. It’s more important than ever that we act with integrity, put our customers first and adhere to high ethical standards in our business conduct. I’m proud that we’re known as a trustworthy company, which requires each of us to do the right thing every day. The Sprint Code of Conduct outlines our ethical and legal responsibilities as employees, as well as our interactions with customers, competitors and suppliers. One of our most valuable assets is our reputation for honesty and fairness, and I appreciate your commitment to uphold this responsibility. By creating an environment of trust and understanding, we also are respecting each other. When in doubt, don’t hesitate to speak up, ask questions and take action. Thank you for everything you do to take pride in your work and help Sprint stand out as an ethical leader.

The Governance Benchmark There is a significant disconnect between our assessments of governance and true governance effectiveness. It’s time to determine why our governance evaluations are often wrong and what we can do to fix the problem. We have entered an age of nonstop performance measurement. Throughout the world, teams of managers, auditors, and consultants are using disciplined, data- driven approaches such as Six Sigma, Kaizen, and Lean to evaluate business performance. The reason is simple: The Measurement Challenge Running a company without measurement is like trying to improve your golf game without keeping score.

  • Accounting Fraud at Xerox Corporation: Ethical Considerations1
    Accounting Fraud at Xerox Corporation: Ethical Considerations1 Amy Butala Eastern Michigan University Zafar U. Khan Eastern Michigan University Management at Xerox Corporation faced with strategic mistakes and tough economic environment resorted to creative accounting to meet financial targets and Wall Street expectations. This case presents a brief history of Xerox Corporation, followed by Xerox’s corporate culture in the 1980s & 90s, and the SEC investigation. The focus of the case is the actions of an assistant treasurer that top management used to guide Xerox through tough economic times and help make financial results appear more favorable. A teaching note is included. The case may also be used for exploring strategic issues or accounting issues and the mechanics of GAAP violations. Keywords: Xerox, Accounting Fraud, Ethical Issues, Code of Ethics, Professional Behavior XEROX HISTORY Xerox Corporation (Xerox) was founded in 1906 in Rochester, New York as The Haloid Company. It started making and selling photographic paper. Chester Carlson made the first xerographic image in his lab in Astoria, Queens, New York City in 1938 and was granted a patent for his electro-photography technology, which was later, changed to xerography (for the ancient Greek words for “dry and “writing”). In 1942 Carlson perfected a process for transferring electrostatic images from a photoconductive surface to paper. In 1948 the word “Xerox” was trademarked. Haloid commercialized xerography in1949 with the Model A copier and the Xerox Copyflo in 1956. By that time xerographic products represented 40% of sales. The company name was changed to Haloid Xerox in 1958. In 1959 the first simplified office photocopier was developed, called the Xerox 914, bringing the company major recognition.

    Call for Papers Accounting Ethics and Tone at the Top Centre for Accounting Ethics, University of Waterloo Journal of Business Ethics Special Issue Symposium Dates: 18-20 April, 2013 Location: Toronto, Canada Symposium Link: http://accounting.uwaterloo.ca/ethics/EthicsSymposium.htm Guest Editors: Sally Gunz, Centre for Accounting Ethics, School of Accounting and Finance, University of Waterloo, Canada Linda Thorne, Schulich School of Business, York University, Canada Organizing Committee, Centre for Accounting Ethics University of Waterloo, Canada: Sally Gunz Theresa Libby Linda Robinson Scope of Special Issue: The theme of this Issue and its supporting Symposium is an intentional challenge to the academic accounting ethics discipline. There is a growing literature exploring issues of tone at the top particularly as it impacts governance. An understanding of managerial values and intent goes to the heart of the services the accounting profession provides and this is reflected in at least two distinct streams in the literature. The challenge laid down by this Symposium and call for papers is to consider tone at the top in its broadest sense; to identify those questions to date unexplored and to investigate the interactions between existing paradigms. The role of tone at the top and its interaction with accounting has a long history. The first recommendation of the Treadway Commission for the public company in 1987 addressed ‘the tone set by top management’ (NCFFR, 1987). It was one of three key elements the Commission identified ‘within the company of overriding importance in preventing fraudulent financial reporting’ with the other two being Internal Audit and Audit Functions and the Audit Committee (p.

Executive Summary Tone-at-the-Top and WFP’s Leadership Arrangements 1. As part of its annual work plan, the Office of Internal Audit conducted an audit of Tone-at-the-Top in WFP that focused on the period 1 October 2018 to 30 September 2019. The audit team conducted the fieldwork from 14 to 25 October 2019 at WFP Headquarters in Rome, Italy. The audit was conducted in conformance with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing. One of internal audit’s key responsibilities is to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control environment directly impacted by tone-at-the- top and culture, and the conduct that arises from employees acting out and exhibiting their interpretation of the values of that culture. 2. The culture of an organization drives how it conducts business and executes its strategies. Tone-at-the-Top is one of four points of focus for the Control Environment of an organization applying the COSO1 Internal Control Framework. This Framework states: In ‘setting the Tone-at-the-Top’ the board of directors and management at all levels of the entity demonstrate through their directives, actions and behaviours the importance of integrity and ethical values to support the functioning of the system of internal controls.

  • Setting the Tone at the Top
    New standards Setting the tone at the top 30 March 2017 10 questions for audit committees In a matter of months, the biggest changes in accounting for more than a decade will come into effect, but our research shows that the vast majority of companies aren’t ready. Progress varies by geography and by industry. But overall, it’s clear that a considerable amount of work still needs to be done. You, as an audit committee member, have a crucial part to play. Regulators are expecting high-quality implementation, and your role is to set the right tone at the top Mark Vaessen and oversee implementation. Partner KPMG International Urgency calls for action For companies with December year ends, the new revenue and financial instruments requirements are effective in less than nine months, so it’s time to step up your efforts on the implementation of these mandatory requirements. Management will implement the new requirements, but the audit committee is tasked with the crucial oversight role: to evaluate management’s progress, challenge the judgements and assess the controls. You need to be on top of the judgements I regularly speak with regulators and clients about the challenges of implementation. My key recommendation is not to underestimate the sheer volume nor the complexity of new judgements and estimates that the new standards introduce – whether in the context of the new expected credit loss model under IFRS 9, or in determining how many performance obligations a customer contract contains and how much revenue to allocate to each performance obligation under IFRS 15.
