    There are five sections to the AICPA Rules of Professional Conduct: Independence, Integrity, and Objectivity, General Standards Accounting Principles, Responsibilities to Clients, Responsibilities to Colleagues, and Other Responsibilities and Practices. Each section, except for Responsibilities to Colleagues, has rules for an accountant to follow. Some of the rules are flat out rules with no exception, but some of the rules can be interpreted in different ways depending on the person reading them. In order to comply with the AICPA Rules of Professional Conduct, an accountant must understand each rule and understand what the rules really mean.…

    Can Ethics Be Taught?

    • 1617 Words
    • 7 Pages

    When working within any professional body, an individual will be subjected to circumstances in which personal ethics will come into play. The Accounting profession is no different as ethical questions arise as part of any working day and can effect how an individual or the company conducts business. These questions can vary greatly in practice from selection of new customers to the rates at which those clients are going to be charged. These ethical questions are raised regularly within the workplace and each employee will react to them differently. The varying reactions will depend on the morality of each individual, or each employees own ‘ethics’. As each employee has their own set of values companies must be alert to the fact that some of their employees may have more ‘flexible’ morals than others. This ‘flexible’ morality can lead to corruption and manipulation within the workplace and can give companies serious problems. As a result of this, all of the main professional accounting bodies have begun to re-introduce mandatory courses teaching ethics to their employees. As well as this, ‘A Guide to professional ethics’ was published which contains a number of different principles in order to govern the behaviour of accountants and also to identify and reduce the greatest areas of risk with respect to unethical behaviour.…

    “In 2001 and 2002 corporate giants like Enron, Global Crossing, and WorldCom were forced to declare bankruptcy, and massive accounting and other irregularities were revealed… In response to the public outcry that ensued, the [Sarbanes-Oxley] Act was enacted” (Lander, 2004, p. 1). Officials feared that because of these scandals in the financial reporting industry that investor confidence would be lost, which would cause the economy to deteriorate. The purpose of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is to reduce the probability of additional corporate scandal by eliminating dishonest corporate conduct. (Weygandt, Kimmel, & Kieso, 2009). The intended goals of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to improve the separation of duties of auditors, ensure accuracy of the auditing profession by instituting ethical principles to follow, and to enhance the system of governing corporate accounting (Willits & Nicholls, 2014). The accounting profession’s credibility has suffered from the actions of those involved in the Enron and WorldCom scandals. To overcome the effects of these past scandals the accountant’s personal integrity will play a huge role. Integrity is an important quality for the accounting professional to possess when preparing financial documents, making financial decisions, and handling confidential client information.…

    To address the increasing challenges of legislating those governs our society today, “countries all over the world have begun to outsource rulemaking to bodies consisting of people familiar with the subject. For that reason, policymakers rely on private entities to establish financial accounting and reporting standards” (Donald Kieso, 2003, Intermediate Accounting). The two most influential standard-setters are the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).…
