| Abstract: | Can the use of focus grous be helpful to get to the roots of ethical issues in the accounting profession?

There is a considerable haze over the moral and legal issues which confront accountants. It would appear that the accountancy profession has problems in deconstructing difficult business issues into its various component parts such as: business implications, conflict of interests, violation of personal values, corporate codes, professional ethics, societal expectations and legal limits. |
