As IBM was charged by the officials of the bribing government and the commission of Securities and Exchange, the company should file the report on the monthly basis in order to show their effort for the avoidance of violations of the act of foreign corrupt practices. Therefore, the advantage for IBM is trust and integrity among employees but sill the company is facing the issue in maintaining the ethical system. An ethical system is very important in the organization as it helps in gaining competitive advantage and the business value with the minimum wastage of resources and money.

The ethical system impacts the decision-making a process ofthe company positively in order to satisfy the mission and vision of the company. The ethical
