Cаse аnаlysis – GVV framewоrk Backgrоund: The legal availability and use оf marijuana is on the rise. In the United States, most states allow its use for medical purposes and about 20 states allow its use for recreational purposes. The manufacture, sale, and use of marijuana is largely a cash business because it is still against the federal Controlled Substance Act. As a result, most banks will not allow marijuana dispensaries to open a bank account. Scenario: A partner from Stoner CPA & Co. asks engagement senior Chris Smith, CPA, to accept the client's request to hold back reporting 20% of the cash sales as taxable income, arguing that since it is a cash business no one would be the wiser. Chris Smith does not want to go along with the partner's request as Chris knows it would be wrong to do so. Chris values honesty and integrity in tax reporting and is concerned about violating the AICPA Rules of Professional Conduct, especially the acts discreditable rule. In preparation for a meeting with their superiors, Chris considers ways to effectively voice their values by responding to the likely reasons and rationalizations they might encounter. Use the GVV approach with the four questions to discuss how you would handle this situation if you were Chris Smith.
