Jenny Parker is having a hard time. She's desperate to take her baby son and leave her husband but can't afford to.
In the course of her work as an accountant, she undertakes a due diligence exercise and thinks she has uncovered some irregularities. She voices her suspicions to a colleague but he overrules her.
A representative of the company she's investigating gives her an envelope containing ten thousand pounds in cash. He makes it clear that this is payment for a positive report, which she knows is going to result even if she objects.
Whether she takes the money or not, the outcome of the exercise is going to be the same.
The money is enough to change her life, to allow her to make a new home for herself and her son.
What would you advise Jenny to do?
If you were faced with the same circumstances, what would you do?
Let me know what you think.
In the meantime, have a Happy Christmas.
Oh, and if you want to know what Jenny does, read Due Diligence. You'll be astonished at the consequences.
