This comprehensive handbook provides a prestige reference volume for researchers interested in accounting and business ethics. "Trading upon their professional accounting status, four massive firms (the Big Four) audit and advise the world's most powerful institutions (corporations and governments). However, they have not always acted in the public interest, so this work, which is directly concerned with accounting ethics, is of extreme contemporary importance." - Professor Christine Cooper, University of Edinburgh, Scotland. "This comprehensive book offers the reader a unique and wide-ranging perspective on making ethical decisions in accounting. It is an essential resource for anyone who wishes to understand the ethical implications of accounting decisions." - Mitchell Stein, Associate Professor, Managerial Accounting and Control, Ivey Business School, Western University
