Ethics in accounting

Ethics in accounting and everyday business is something that needs to be taken as a very serious matter. In an article written by Ireen Baset, she explains that ethics today is much tougher to follow than many years ago. It is noted that an accountant must not for any reason take gifts or except favors from there clients, for fear that this would sway the accountants decision making techniques. This is where the ethical code …

…in order to help themselves and others. I personally feel that if an accountant is caught acting in this manner, that they lose there license immediately for a year. After this time they must go in front of some type of panel or board and resolve the matter at hand. This is the only way to stay unethical behavior.
