Professional Ethics

Muhtasari

Anyone can add up a column of figures correctly and still be a bad accountant. What investors, lenders, tax authorities and employees actually rely on is that the figures were prepared honestly, competently and without hidden bias, by someone who would not quietly change a number to please a client. That reliability is not automatic; it rests on a code of professional ethics that every accountant is expected to follow.

In this lesson you will learn the five principles of professional ethics, how each one applies to real situations an accountant might face, and what 'public interest' means when it is applied to accounting roles and functions. You will work through realistic dilemmas, not abstract rules, because that is exactly how professional ethics is tested and exactly how it is used in practice.

Malengo

  1. Describe the principles of professional ethics
  2. Apply the principles of professional ethics to accounting roles and functions
  3. Explain the concept of public interest and how it is applied to accounting roles and functions

Maelezo ya Somo

Financial statements are only useful if the people reading them can trust that the figures are accurate and have not been manipulated. An accountant is often the only person who fully understands how a set of figures was arrived at, which puts them in a position of trust. Professional ethics is the set of principles that governs how an accountant is expected to behave in that position of trust, whether they are an employee preparing internal reports, an external auditor checking another business's accounts, or a self-employed accountant preparing accounts for several small clients.
