Marguerite Devallois is division controller and Jacques Clément is division manager of the Royaume de la Chaussure SARL, a shoe company. Devallois has line responsibility to Clément, but she also has staff responsibility to the company controller. Clément is under severe pressures to achieve budgeted division income for the year. He has asked Devallois to book €200 000 of sales on 31 December. The customers' orders are firm, but the shoes are still in the production process. They will be shipped on or about 4 January. Clément said to Devallois, 'The key event is getting the sales order, not shipping of the shoes. You should support me, not obstruct my reaching division goals.'
Required
1. Describe Devallois's ethical responsibilities.
2. What should Devallois do if Clément gives her a direct order to book the sales?
