Cases in Corporate Ethics 5.2: The case involves three key stakeholders – Bain Capital Partners, Lilliput Kids wear and Ernst & Young. It brings to light the classic case of breach of trust. This is arguably the most high-profile alleged accounting fraud case which also involves negligent misrepresentation, and unfair and deceptive trade practices. The events in case have led to breakdown of the mutual trust between Bain and EY, painstakingly built over several years.
