Book excerpt: "In today's highly competitive accounting environment, liability is one of the biggest fears. Accountants are potentially subject to more claimants in the course of any one transaction than doctors. A major liability loss can severely damage or cause the complete failure of your accounting firm - large or small. The Accountant's Guide to Legal Liability and Ethics reveals the magnitude of the liability issues you face daily as an accountant and tells you of the dangers. Practical and easy to read, this guide breaks through the rhetoric to show you the broad spectrum of liability." "You'll discover the way courts really look at GAAS and GAAP; how to identify which areas of your practice are particularly vulnerable based on previous court actions and rulings; what to look for in a policy when purchasing professional liability insurance; and the foundation for developing an ethical framework that will guide accountants through these dangerous waters." "While concerns over liability mount in almost every profession across the country, it undoubtedly weighs heavily on the accountant. The authors provide you with new insights and new dimensions in practicing your profession and help you overcome these concerns."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A trusted resource on the complex ethical questions that define the accounting profession An accountant’s practice depends on making difficult decisions. To achieve the best results, individual accountants and accounting firms need a clear understanding of the ethical duties and decision-making involved in the four major functions of modern accounting—auditing, management accounting, tax accounting, and consulting—as well as a strong sense of ethical conduct to guide the certification and validation of reliable financial records. Now in its third edition, Accounting Ethics is a thorough and engaging exploration of the ethical issues that accountants encounter in their professional lives. Since the publication of the first edition in 2002, Accounting Ethics has become an indispensable resource for accounting courses and certification programs worldwide, known for its focus on real-world application, practical advice, reader-friendly guidance, and its insight into the effects of global change on the profession. Together with coverage of the contemporary regulatory environment—including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act—this revised edition features expanded pedagogical resources such as new end-of-chapter case studies and discussion questions, and includes the updated AICPA Code of Conduct. Concise and dependable, Accounting Ethics sustains its reputation as an authoritative resource for practicing accountants, new professionals, students of accounting, and those who are considering the profession.
Download or read book Accounting Ethics written by Philip G. Cottell and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990-06-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for professional and aspiring accountants, this book addresses the specific ethical issues that accountants are often obliged to resolve in the context of their work. The authors, an accountant and an ethicist, take a case-based, pragmatic approach to the subject, examining real life dilemmas often faced in the practice of accountancy. Each chapter investigates a specific issue, such as whistle-blowing or the implications of independence, and includes several case studies that put the theoretical analysis into practical perspective. Throughout, Cottell and Perlin seek to go beyond the codes of professional behavior to confront the subtle personal, corporate, and governmental pressures that make ethical decision making difficult. In an era in which accountants have been tried publicly for aiding in corporate fraud, Accounting Ethics provides a careful and welcome exploration of the moral issues faced almost daily by professionals in the field. Following an introductory chapter that raises fundamental questions about accountability, the authors analyze and interpret the three different systems from which ethical considerations are born--deontologism, utilitarianism, and ethical realism. Subsequent chapters examine particular types of conflicts. Among the topics that receive extended treatment are moral conflicts within the firm, the issue of independence, whistle-blowing as an option, legal requirements and ethical duties, difficulties in relationships among professionals, questions of sexual difference and discrimination, and accounting's responsibility to society. Specialized jargon is kept to a minimum, making this an excellent resource for anyone practicing or considering a career in the accounting profession.

Download or read book Ethics for Accountants and Auditors written by Mine Van Zyl and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a concise guide to the legal and ethical rules for accountants. It is written to fulfil curriculum requirements for B Comm (Accounting) students now required by the SA Institute of Chartered Accountants to be examined in the CA board exam on the practice of ethics. The practice of ethics within the accounting profession has until now been handled in a piecemeal fashion by various Departments of Accounting at universities for students intending to write the CA board exam. Some, for example, UJ, have been proactive and already offer a specific course in ethics to students of Accounting. In February 2004, the education committee of SAICA indicated that all syllabi should include a portion on ethics from 2006. All students writing the board exam from 2008 will be examined on related concepts. There is, therefore, a great need for a book which meets syllabus requirements across the country, and for the introduction of specific course components dealing with ethics in accounting , for 2006. Other auditing books refer in general terms to ethical issues, but are designed to convey auditing practice rather than ethical practice in business. This book therefore fulfils a great need.
