What do you do now? Ethical Issues Encountered by Chartered Accountants

Researcher: Molyneaux


The Report

How often do we ask ourselves "what should I do?". This report collates 28 true life ethical dilemmas faced by accountants either in practice or business. The objective of the report is to bring ethical problems to life and to encourage debate and understanding of such issues rather than providing definitive answers. Instead each case concludes with an analysis entitled What do you do now? to identify the factors and issues which need to be considered.

The scenarios are a reminder as to how real dilemmas can either emerge over time or present themselves without warning. The examples reported give the opportunity to prepare by providing recognisable demands that can be discussed informally with colleagues to assess what each might do in these circumstances. Moreover, the cases may be used for more formal training and education purposes and in other novel ways to ensure that ethics is debated within the profession, in practice and in business, and in academia.
