Page 9 - EATS Case ( B)

Jim looked at the expenses file with despair (See

Appendix 1: Start-Up Expences). He phoned Litan and

advised him not to submit these figures as with the

costing, they were fictitious, unrealistic and could only

show him up in a poor light. Lying was too dangerous. It

was too easily found out. Moreover, he asked Litan for a

copy of the full business plan he was submitting to the

Chamber of Commerce. This was not forthcoming until

late March 2012 after it had been submitted (See

Appendix 2) and was full of inconsistences and somewhat

less than truthful. Moreover, it was obvious that Litan

had filtered the information that Jim had seen.
