Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ann was reprimanded for the mismanagement of public funds, despite delegating the work to an employee. This means that the person who delegates remains accountable for the work, even if it is carried out by someone else. Therefore, Ann may be reluctant to delegate in the future because she wants to avoid being held responsible for someone else's mistakes.
