Accounting Ethics: Accounting and the public interest

The AICPA's Code of Conduct and the IMA's Statement of Ethical Professional Practice guide accountants through ethical conflicts. The AICPA Code emphasizes principles such as integrity, independence, and professionalism, while the IMA's guidelines include honesty, fairness, and responsibility.
This video highlights the ethical considerations and responsibilities that accountants, particularly CPAs, have in serving the public interest. It emphasizes the role of professional codes of conduct, such as those provided by the AICPA and the IMA, in guiding ethical decision-making. By discussing real-life scenarios and ethical dilemmas, the video helps you understand the practical application of ethical principles in their profession. This topic may be covered in your homework, cases, discussions, and unit exams.
Ask yourself:
How do I prioritize the public interest in my role as an accountant or financial professional?
Do I understand the potential consequences of compromising ethical principles in financial reporting and decision-making?
How do I navigate ethical conflicts within my organization, especially when faced with pressure from senior management or colleagues?
