Ethics are a mandatory subject required everywhere. No matter how efficient any practice is, it can never stand right for anyone or anything without ethics. Morales and principles are the basis on which righteous and successful methods drive the way for success.
When it comes to accounting, there’s a lot of trust involved in the process. Whether the account is handled by an in-house team or rendered to an outsourcing firm, morals and honesty can never be taken for granted.
Yes, numbers do not lie, but only till the time it isn’t manipulated and reported in an untruthful manner. Such are the effects of accounting practices.
But, regardless of what should be the right thing, there are still buzzing headlines about financial fraud, data manipulation and other such unethical practices raising sincere awareness towards secrecy of all important information. But, we want to focus on more ethical practices in accounting rather than driving the focus to all bad apples of the accounting world.
We want to raise sincere questions on ethical accounting practices evoking enough awareness.
Conflicts of interest and ethics?
When a firm deals with the accounting of various organisations, it might come in contract terms with vendors and sellers, two companies accounts with the same goals and many such pairs. As an ethical firm, keeping the service of each business individual is important. The assistance you offer to different clients should stand specific. Sometimes a little merge and match might seem profitable, but that’s where business principles stand for the real test.
Are client pitches and talks individual?
What are your pitchings and conversations with client A should not pave the way for any dialogue with Client B; that’s an important rule of ethical business practice. Suppose, if client A is a competitor of client B, and one of them is planning to take over another, you are not supposed to communicate such information to the opposite one. It is very important to stick well to the service you are offering.
Is everything precisely based on law and policies?
Accounting involves the interpretation of various laws and policies. As a functioning accounting and financial service provider, it is important that the legal customs be kept in mind while rendering services. Your client’s well being is your real success. You cannot become ignorant of what is affecting your client’s business in terms of every little accounting aspect.
These were a few questions on accounting practices and how a better understanding of them makes things more ethical.
