Examining Ethics: An Honest Look at Ethics and Behaviours!
Examining Ethics: An Honest Look at Ethics and Ethical Behaviour! (Part One) Simply put, accounting is a profession which we are expected to at all times and in all circumstances, to act ethically, with integrity, dedicated to accuracy and transparency and within the parameters of highest business standards and principles. We are both professionally obligated to serve our clients, their needs, and their interests but to also be vigilant to unethical / illegal behaviour and to intervene and address it. Ethical behaviour is also about safeguarding the reputation of the accounting profession, a responsibility that every accountant must take seriously.
In this webinar, we take a unique, interesting, and personal look at ethics and ethical and moral dilemmas. Ethics is about our character, our beliefs, and principles but as accountants, we must strive daily to maintain the highest ethical standards in our profession. We examine and discuss interesting and real-world ethical dilemmas in the form of compelling case studies, and you’ll soon discover how ethics and ethical behaviour are far from “cut and dry” and are often a complex set of choices and decisions that must be made to lead to ethical outcomes that reflect well on us, our practice, our careers, and our profession.
Applicable for:
All accounting professionals as ethics and ethical behaviour is a core value in the profession.
