It highlights the debates over the use of fair-value accounting and principles- versus rules-based standards; offers a comprehensive overview of ethics in accounting, as well as an examination of and recommendations for solving the current crisis in this field; investigates the nature and purpose of accounting; uses concrete examples and case studies, including current situations; and, examines the ethical responsibilities of individual accountants as well as accounting firms.
