The primary stakeholders in The Dilemma of an Accountant are: 1) The Big Eight accounting firm: The firm represents the interests of its partners, shareholders, and employees, who contribute their capital, expertise, and time to functioning of the organization. The Big Eight is primarily motivated by the need to protect its reputation and remain profitable, while providing a satisfactory and transparent level of performance to its clients. 2) Baker Greenleaf: The firm stands to benefit from the grant of the contract by the Big Eight. If the firm is able to successfully deliver to the Big Eight, it stands to gain a significant financial reward, as well as increased access to the sector and the opportunity to advertise a successful partnership. Additionally, there could be other stakeholders, such as the individual accountant, the government, the public, and the client. The individual accountant has a personal stake, as he will have to make a difficult decision between his professional obligations and his personal morals. The government may have a stake in ensuring ethical standards are upheld, while the public have an interest in ensuring that the Big Eight and Baker Greenleaf remain honest and transparent while dealing with their affairs. Finally, the client has an interest in receiving the most accurate and professional service possible, with the understanding that the Big Eight and Baker Greenleaf are operating in an ethical manner.
