DQ1 Integrity, Objectivity, and Ethics in Business CEO’s Health?
How much and what information to disclose in financial statements and to investors presents a common ethical dilemma for managers and accountants. For example, Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple Inc., had been diagnosed and treated for pancreatic cancer. Apple Inc. had insisted that the status of Steve Jobs’s health was a “private” matter and did not have to be disclosed to investors. Apple maintained this position even though Jobs was a driving force behind Apple’s innovation and financial success.However, in response to increasing investor concerns and speculation, Jobs released a letter on January 5, 2009, to investors on his health. The letter indicated that his recent weight loss was due to a hormone imbalance and not due to the recurrence of cancer. On October S, 2011, Steve Jobs died at the age of 56.
