  • Implement policies that help build an ethical culture
  • Recognise the danger of poor communication

About the module

Accountants are aware of the rules, regulations and codes that govern their workdays. But, when it comes to ethical codes, these often take a backseat to the IFRSs and GAAPs.

This module looks at the basic elements of ethics that are required by professional bodies, and the need for accountants to adopt an enquiring mind when dealing with clients' affairs.
