It has to be completed by a deadline, Other tasks depend on it 
The Chairman's involvement 
may
make it high priority but not necessarily so. The other options 
make the work high priority for you, but not necessarily for the organisation.

Lose-lose result
Neither party gets what they want.

A full investigation
The point of this question is to emphasise that all disciplinary issues should be properly 
investigated. After proper investigation and a disciplinary hearing, any of the usual sanctions may 
be appropriate. 
(Chapter 18)
97 False 
This is a disciplinary action. (Try and define 'grievance' yourself.) 
(Chapter 18)
98 Constructive 
dismissal 
Little is certain in employment law but, on the face of it, this would seem to be a case of 
constructive dismissal. It may also turn out to be unfair dismissal. Wrongful dismissal is unlikely, 
as the employer may not have actually breached the contract of employment. It may emerge on 
investigation that the bad treatment of the employee was the result of one of the automatically 
unfair reasons for dismissal, such as membership of a trade union. However, on the facts we are 
given, constructive dismissal is the best answer. 
(Chapter 18)

The correct answer is: 
Order 
Task 
1st task (10am to 12 noon) 
Enter sales invoices/credit notes into computer system 
2nd task (12 noon to 1pm) 
Enter weekly purchase invoices into the computer 
3rd task (2pm to 4pm) 
(20 × 6 mins = 120 mins) 
Match purchase invoices to goods-received notes and 
pass to the accountant for authorisation 
4th task (4pm to 5pm) 
Filing 
The sales invoices and credit notes need to be entered into the computer system by midday and 
so take priority. 
Next enter the purchase invoices into the computer, so that the report is available for Manesh's 
colleague by 2pm. 
The third priority is to match the purchase invoices to the GRNs before the end of today, Friday, 
so that they are ready for the accountant first thing on Monday morning. 
Any time left can then be spent on filing.

Y
This is the classic Y pattern. 
(b) 
Win-win 
Freda has won because she will be able to limit the disruption to her work. 
Lisa has also won because she will receive proper training. 
(Chapter 18)
101 Utilitarianism 
Utilitarianism is based on the outcomes or consequences of actions. Deontology is based on duty: 
categorical imperatives are the 'rules' by which duty (or moral responsibility) can be judged. 
Legalism is based on the agreed rules or laws laid down by a group or society. 
(Chapter 19)
102 Accountants must complete their work in such a way as to give a reasonable person no cause to 
question their objectivity
Independence in appearance is being 
seen
to be independent or objective: it is an additional 
requirement to being objective in fact (independence of mind) – and nothing to do with freedom 
from supervision (or autonomy). 
(Chapter 19)
