Reckless Ethical Assignment - Lane

Lane has been approached by Casey Henderson, a former colleague who worked
with Lane when they were both employed by a public accounting firm. Henderson
has recently started his own firm, Henderson Benchmarking Associates, which
collects and sells data on industry benchmarks. He offers to provide Lane with
benchmarks for the outdoor furniture industry free of charge if she will provide him
with the past three years of Outdoor Living’s standard and actual costs. Henderson
explains that this is how he obtains most of his firm’s benchmarking data. Lane
always has a difficult time with the standard-setting process and believes that the
benchmark data would be very useful.
