    Terry Reed, CFO of Excello, committed the unethical practices in this case. Reed had considered the $2.1 million transaction to collect the earnings from a sale that was not to occur until January 2011. By posting the transaction in December 2010, Reed would be able to boost the earnings for that year.

Intentionally reflecting inaccurate information in financial statements breaks state and federal laws and breaks the codes of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002.…
