Ethical Considerations
Muhtasari
Accounting only works if people believe the numbers. A bank lends against financial statements, an investor buys shares on the strength of reported profit, a tax authority assesses what is owed: every one of these decisions assumes the accountant has been honest and careful. That trust is fragile, and once broken it is very hard to rebuild, which is why the profession takes ethics so seriously.
In this lesson you will learn why accounting needs an agreed ethical framework, and you will meet the five fundamental principles that framework is built on: integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality, and professional behaviour. You will see what each one looks like in practice, what it forbids, and why it matters so much to the stakeholders and to society who rely on accountants to do the right thing even when no one is watching.
