This book provides a comprehensive, authoritative, and thought-provoking examination of the multitude of ethical issues encountered by accountants working in the industry, public practice, nonprofit service, and government. Gordon Kleins essential text, Ethics in Accounting: A Decision-Making Approach, 1st edition helps students understand all topics commonly prescribed by state Boards of Accountancy regarding ethics literacy. This text can be utilized in either a one-term or two-term course in Accounting Ethics. Each chapter takes on a wide array of subjects and stands on its own allowing chapters to be assigned separately without any loss of continuity.  A contemporary focus immerses readers in real world ethical questions with recent scandals such as celebrity privacy, basketball point-shaving, auditor inside trading, and online dating. Woven into chapters are tax-related issues that address fraud, cheating, confidentiality, contingent fees and auditor independence. Duties arising in more commonplace roles as internal auditors, external auditors, and tax practitioners are, of course, examined as well.
