Business and Professional EthicsBusiness & Professional Ethics for Directors, Executives & Accountants, 9e is the only book that connects and provides a comprehensive background for understanding the following dots. Business and the accounting profession are now in an era of risk management because numerous scandals have undermined the credibility and reputation of corporations, firms, directors, executives, and partners. Businesses and professionals cannot reach their strategic goals optimally in the medium and longer terms unless the ethics risks causing these scandals are recognized, avoided or mitigated, and monitored continuously. Governance systems must include ethical guidance and decision making must consider the value systems that stakeholder groups respect ‘ otherwise stakeholders will not provide essential support because the corporate culture is unlikely to be a culture of integrity. Without a corporate culture of integrity, corporate directors and auditors cannot do their jobs effectively. Understanding how past scandals have led to the current era of governance and ethics risk management is essential so that past disasters can be avoided. ISBN: 9780357441886, 0357441885
