For years accounting ethics has been viewed as an unimportant
adjunct of academic and professional accounting. However, the
economic scandals of the early twenty-first century have
dramatically nullified this characterisation, with the ruination of
investors in Enron, WorldCom, Waste Management, Aldelphia, Tyco and
scores of other business concerns raising questions about the
adequacy and relevance of academic research into accounting ethics,
as well as the ethical nature of professional parties.
Presenting important papers that reassess these theories,
research studies and professional practices in the field of
accounting ethics, this collection scrutinizes the body of
knowledge that did not protect the investing public, and examines
the current crisis in the creditability of financial reports.
