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