Jane finds a material misstatement while auditing a client's accounts receivables. her senior tells her to ignore the misstatement so that the client does not get upset. jane wants to be viewed as a team player in order to advance in the firm. so jane follows her senior's instructions and ignores the misstatement. which ethical theory did jane use to make her decision?

Jane wants to advance in the firm and be seen as a team player. So instead of addressing the misstatement, she ignores it to appease her senior.
