Rules-Based Ethics Standards

Decent Essays
I truly believe we need rules-based ethics standards in place because this gives a guideline for all accountants to follow in the US and other countries. These rules will not only enhance the accountant ethical standards of behavior, but enhance the accountant as an individual. The rules enforce the accountant to pay close attention to financial reports and information that maybe understated or overstated, the rules-based ethic help you to focus on company behavior pattern, threats of broken ethical principles of the standard that maybe at risk or not properly safeguarded by the IFAC. The main goal for rules-based ethics standard is to guide you on how to handle ethical situation and I do believe they should because there has got to be some

    Ethics is the broad theme of ISLLC Standard 5. The activities related to this standard provided me with a means to reflect on my personal code of ethics, explore ethics from the perspective of a district official, and to hear others’ perspectives of ethics in the school organization. The first activity allowed me to interview Richard Stiverson, a school board member, regarding his code of ethics. The interview was insightful and did not veer far from what I consider to be ethical. With regard to this activity, I was able to grasp the notion that ethical behavior is paramount to building and maintaining trust in an organization.…

    Comparing Codes of Ethics The very nature of the counseling profession places professional counselors in close proximity with people, information, and influence. Due to this, ethical dilemmas can arise throughout the course of this work. To help aid in the protection of counselors, and to provide a framework for ethical practice, ethical codes have been developed and instituted within the profession. As Beuchamp and Childress stated (as cited in Calley, 2009), “in the counseling profession, ethical standards are required to protect clients, guide professional behavior, ensure the autonomy of professionals, increase the status of the profession, enhance the client 's and the community 's trust in the profession, and articulate collegial conduct between professionals,” (p. 476).…

    The National Geographic Cover picture for February 1982 was altered from a horizontal image to a vertical one. The image displayed two pyramids and a camel train walking in front. This would not have been a big deal if National Geographic flipped the rotation of the image, but they physically cut the picture and moved the components closer together so it would fit the vertical layout of the magazine. Additionally, while the photographer was setting up his camera equipment a camel train passed by and he paid them to walk past the pyramids again so that he could get the shot he wanted.…

    While I recognize the utility of rule-based ethics, I generally prefer virtue ethics. One main reason I like virtue ethics is because of its emphasis on moral virtues as opposed to on consequences or duty/rules, like utilitarianism and deontology. Although deontology and utilitarianism can make room for virtues, virtue ethics distinguishes itself from them because "virtue is the primary moral category". So sometimes virtue ethics may come to the same conclusions as deontology or utilitarianism, but its path to this conclusion is much different. Furthermore, it will even trump considerations of consequences and duty/ rules if it is deemed necessary.…

    Significance of ethics in managerial accounting is obvious: if managerial accountants don’t follow four ethical principles which include Honesty, Fairness, Objectivity, and Responsibility, the data provided by them to business owners and decision makes won’t be factual and objective. Disclosed information by an accountant might lead a business to serious problems and legal implications. Everyone within an organization is required to follow the four IMA’s overarching ethical principles and adhere to them. In the described situation that happened in Hi-Power Mower Company, the following stakeholders are affected by Marcus’s actions: Marcus Lum (the cost accountant for Hi-Power Mower Company), Marcus’s friend Ray Pon (the production manager for…

Hussein Metropolitan State University May 28, 2017 Ethics Core Ethical Beliefs An individual’s personal values play an important role in acting as a ground for differentiating between right and wrong, thus determining a person’s daily actions and emotions. Education and parents affect the development of people’s core ethical beliefs, such as responsibility, integrity, ambition, excellence, and family. It is noteworthy that a person’s core ethical beliefs are significant principles that unconsciously or consciously influence their ethical conduct and thinking (Head, 2006).
