AC 700 - Ethics for Accounting Professionals

(3.00 cr.)

This course has two primary objectives: to provide a practical, action-oriented approach to business ethics that helps individuals who work in corporations and organizations decide what to do when they are faced with an ethical dilemma, and to explore modern corporate social responsibility-an approach to management that guides organizations beyond creating an ethical environment in the workplace. While pursuing these objectives, students study alternative perspectives on a wide range of contemporary business issues through readings and case studies. Ultimately, students see the extent to which ethics and moral and social responsibilities are intertwined. Verbal and written communication skills and the professional judgment expected of leaders are emphasized.
