Accounting And Business Ethics

In the post-Enron scandal era accounting has come under scrutiny as never before, both as a profession and as a key contributor to governance in business. Many aspects of the accounting profession are being reviewed, from its structure to corporate governance to the ethics of individual accountants.

This ground-breaking text takes a uniquely interactive approach, drawing on a wealth of international real-world case studies and examples to engage students in debate and discussion. An accompanying website provides not only lecturer support, but also a unique forum for discussion, bridging the gap between universities and professional education and placing the debates and dilemmas which the profession faces in a broader ethical and political context.

The first UK book to focus specifically on accounting ethics, this key text is a must read for accounting students of all levels as well as for professional accountants on continuing professional development courses.
