You're the financial manager of a Congolese mining company purchased by a foreign consortium. When you audit the accounts, you discover a double accounting system: the real coltan export figures are three times higher than the official declarations. Millions of dollars escape Congolese tax. But the consortium provides four thousand families in the province. Your superior summons you: either you certify the accounts as they are, or you transmit your report to the tax administration. If you speak, the consortium threatens to close the site and relocate to Rwanda. If you shut up, you become an accomplice to organized looting.
What do you choose?
A — You transmit the report: accounting truth above all, no matter what.
B — You certify the accounts: four thousand families eat tomorrow, the rest will wait.
