Abstract: | The author examines fraudulent financial reporting within the context of Jones' (1991) ethical decision making model. Contrary to expectations, quantitative materiality did not influence ethical judgments Results based on participants' self-reported behaviour indicated that matriality and the perceived morality of the action would influence the likelihood of farud, but that financial reisk would not. |
