“John, I have questions about that job you want me to do next week—the one where I am supposed to go and be part of that multidisciplinary team to study how the hospitals in Denver ought to be restructured for maximum efficiency and how they should be reporting that efficiency in the future. As you know, I am a professional accountant, but I’m not going to be the study leader. What happens if I disagree with the study’s findings or recommendations? What do I do if I think they haven’t used accounting data correctly and have recommended that a hospital be shut down when I don’t think it should be? Do I go along? Do I blow the whistle?” 

Question

1. Answer the questions put to John.
