Description
Ethical people, including accountants, sometimes do unethical things. Not often, but when they do, we ask ourselves, “Why?” This workshop considers the basic notion of “ethical people” versus “unethical people” and examines the spectrum of good and bad behavior that characterizes every reasonable human. We go far beyond the traditional “fraud triangle” to consider ethical leadership, moral awareness, counter-ethical organizational incentives, psychological factors, and “bad barrels” that yield bad apples. Real cases involving unethical behavior by accountants are discussed openly and honestly.
