  12. There is a need to include the subject of ethics as a learning topic in all accountancy textbooks. The standing of the profession, and individuals within the accountancy profession, depends on the highest level of ethical conduct by its members. Kolsen (2002, p. 39) suggests that even a person with high personal morals would recognise the intrinsic value of being trained in ethical issues so that they would conduct themselves appropriately within the profession. For example, in the course of advising clients on an investment matter, accountants may have to resolve issues of conflict of interest between their client, their employer and their own personal interests. In the making of a moral judgement, “one person's immorality is another's standard practice” (Cranston, 1995, p. 29). Thus, ethical teachings are vital as they can inform accountants of what is ethically acceptable in the accountancy world and what the consequences are for those who do not comply with set codes of conduct.
