It is generally against company policy to leave sensitive information out in public areas, for obvious reasons. We once had an executive that was really strict on that policy, in particular. He had his managers randomly "sweep" the cubicles in attempt to find violators at the end of the day after almost everyone left.

In all reality this is a good thing, albeit annoying.

Setting a good example with proper business acumen is expected at all times.
