| Abstract: | This article examines whether accounting students can reason more ethically after an intervention based on a discrete and dedicated course on accounting ethics. The results suggest that the ethics education has positive and major effects on students' moral reasoning and development, including learning theories of ethics, peer learning and moral discourse. The implications are that moral reasoning is responsive to particular types of ethics intervention and educators should carefully plan their attempts to foster moral judgment development. |
