The Routledge Handbook of Accounting Ethics – eBook

The perspective of this ebook Routledge International Handbooks is to present “ethics” as a conversation about how we decide what is good or bad, right or wrong. It is a collection of conversations employed by educators to assist accounting students in developing their understanding of accounting’s ethical aspects and to help them develop into critical thinkers who consider the ethical complexities of the function of accounting in human society.

Because we are social beings, ethics is a central human concern, since it involves determining the ethicality of human actions and their effect on other individuals, as well as determining the collective societal acceptance or rejection of an action. Thus, the textbook’s primary goal is to call attention to the intersectionality of accounting and ethics and to encourage students and researchers to consider the ethical implications of accounting decisions. The ebook The Routledge Handbook of Accounting Ethics (PDF) contains a diversity of perspectives within which discussions of accountants’ and accounting’s ethical responsibilities may occur. The contributing authors were deliberately chosen for their diverse perspectives on whence moral guidance for accounting may come. Each chapter stands on its own and represents the thinking of its authors. The textbook is not a primer on correct behavior for accountants but a place where educators may spur the conversation along.
