a. submitted to the next higher managerial level.

Explanation:

IMA states the following standards of conduct in management accounting: competence, confidentiality, integrity and credibility ... Confidentiality entails accountants to divulge information only at the behest of their supervisor. Integrity forbids managers to engage in unethical behavior. Once an issue can't be resolved the standard procedure is to move a step up the ladder for further assistance.
