Juan is a CPA working on a client's audit. He shares with the audit team that he believes there is a discrepancy among the inventory as some small items may have been counted twice. Also, since his supervisor wants the audit done like yesterday while auditing the payables, someone suggests to Juan instead of pulling 30 invoices, maybe he can pull 20 invoices to save time. One team member says that it should only take 35 hours to audit payables and that at the current pace Juan may take 60 hours.

At the next team meeting, the team votes not to tell the supervisor about the inventory and payables changes to the audit. The other team members tell Juan that they all spend more time on audits than they report to keep the supervisor happy.
