Book Description
Accounting Ethics uses real-life examples, including the Enron/Arthur Andersen debacle, to examine the ethical responsibilities of individual accountants as well as accounting firms. The book begins by investigating the nature and purpose of accounting and follows with a brief study of the nature and use of ethical principles in determining accountants' responsibilities. Because accounting is governed by a code of ethics, it examines the ethical imperatives that bind professionals and the specific principles and rules that various accounting codes dictate. Next, the book explores the major types of practices in which accountants engage - auditing, managerial accounting, and tax accounting - and the responsibilities associated with those practices. The book concludes with an investigation into the ethical responsibilities of accounting firms, and the pressures that militate against the fulfilling of those responsibilities.

 Some Good Basic Information, Fair Overall January 23, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This short text offers some good basic background information on ethics and then goes on to apply this to accounting. The focus is on public accounting and audit in particular, though the discussion also applies to the accounting field in general. However, this text does not go beyond the basics, and anyone who has spent some time thinking about the subject will have confronted most of these issues already. Still a worthwhile sumamry.
