CK investments (Pty) is a local hand sanitizing production
company. The company was
incorporated in 2010.
The company was started by Charles Mujende who is the 100%
shareholder. CK is run by the
owner’s brother in law, Lazareth Shilongo CA(NAM), the CEO of the
company. Charles started
the company using his pension fund of N$ 200 000.00.
The start-up funds were used to build the production centre in
Tsumeb where the sanitisers are
produced. The ingredients used to make the sanitiser include water
from a nearby lake, alcohol
and fragrance. CK investments is known to make sanitizers that
leave your skin clean, smelling
good and moisturized, they have patented their recipe and
production processes. The sanitiser
is packaged in plastic bottles. It is company policy that all
spoilage from production be dumped
in the lake to minimise waste management costs.
You are a charted accountant and you went to university with
Lazareth, the two of you have
remained good friends since your time at university. Lazareth has
asked you to assist the
company with accounting, finance and internal audit functions of
the company as they do not
currently have a CFO or CAE. You accepted the job because he has
promised you a handsome
service fee that you will be paid in cash at the end of every
month, off the books.
The company employs 500 men to produce, package and sell the
sanitisers. All the salesmen
are paid on a commission basis only. The company has a list of
commercial suppliers whom
they have a three-year sales agreement with. The CEO is output
driven and is known to fire
salespersons who do not sell more than N$10 000.00 worth of
sanitiser per month. The CEO
and all executives receive annual bonuses based on the profit
before tax of the company.
In 2020, the demand for hand sanitisers increased exponentially due
to the Corona virus. The
government has put out a tender to local companies to produce hand
sanitizers. The tendering
process is highly competitive.
Fortunately, the audit committee chair, who is also the sales
executive at CK, Sidney Haufiku is
good friends with the government official who is overseeing the
tender process. Sidney has
invited the government official and his family to a nearby lodge
for the weekend. All expenses
for this trip were covered by CK investments and expensed in terms
S11a of the income tax act.
On the Saturday afternoon Sidney had a drink with the government
official to discuss the
tender. Sidney proposed that he could service the tender at a cost
of N$3m, half the market
value of sanitizers to save the government money if he could be
guaranteed that the tender
would be awarded to CK Investments. The government official agreed
that given countries
financial position, they would agree to the N$3m.
On 30 March the board had their first and last board meeting for
the year. The audit committee
has not had a meeting and no other committees have been established
as yet. At that meeting
Sidney briefed the board on his deal with the government official.
Wilhelm Gariseb, is the
production executive and a member of the board, his department has
been experiencing a
shortage of pharmaceutical alcohol in 2020. He proposed that to be
able to produce at such low
costs, they could use less alcohol and more water to make the
sanitizers. The board consisting of Lazareth Shilongo (chair of the
board), Sidney Haufiku (audit comm chair) and Wilhelm Gariseb
(member of the board), resolved to apply for the tender at a low
cost using less alcohol At the same meeting, the board learned that
they were required to hire an external auditor.
Lazareth suggested that you be appointed as the auditor as you are
already familiar with the
business. The board members agreed, and you were appointed as the
auditor.
On 29 May 2020, a newspaper article published that a local company
CK Investments had been
selling the government ineffective sanitizer that was not strong
enough to cleanse or sanitize
skin. The government has distributed this sanitizer to schools and
hospitals. As a result, the
virus was able to easily spread as people would go about day to day
activities under the
assumption that they had effectively sanitized their hands.
After a legal inquiry the company was found guilty of several legal
violations. As a result, the
company was liquidated, and all 500 employees were left
unemployed.
Question 5 (2)
The executive and government official agreed that the company would
benefit from the
contract as they would have more income and the government would
save costs from the 3m
dollar deal. Which method of ethical evaluation did they use and
why?
Question 6 (2)
What kind of economic system is CK investments operating in? Please
provide a reason for your
conclusion.
question 7
Assume that CK is the only seller of sanitizer in the country.
What kind of competitive
environment do they operate in? Please draw the demand curves for
this type of competition.
Question 8 (5)
Would you agree or disagree that CK investments is operating
sustainably? Please provide
reasons for your answer.
Question 9 (10)
Identify any ethical concerns you may in terms of the CPC, based on
the company description
above.

description above based on
