Abstract: | The effectiveness of current models of accounting ethics have been seriously called into question. This paper argues that the profession suffers from fundamental limitations in its ethical (herafter as: eth.) framework, making it impossible to effectively address on-going eth. problems. The dominant representation of professional behaviour is an agency model of ethics. It is argued that structural forces such as control over resources, ... , and community norms and values also have a strong influence on the actions of accountants and that these must also be considered. There is proposed a framework based on structuration theory and learning theory. |
