As Weidmann and Lenzen (2006) points out, ethics entails doing the right thing. Accounting ethics is mainly in the area of applied ethics and at the same time, it is also a part of business ethics as well as human ethics. It is worth pointing out that the kind of work that is always carried out by the auditors, as well as the accountants generally needs very huge ethics levels (Stolowy and Breton, 2000). The shareholders of the firms, the potential shareholders, as well as the other people who use the financial statements that are prepared by the accountants generally depend on the annual financial statements of the firms given that they are capable of using the information in making highly informed decisions concerning investments. At the same time, they depend on the accountants’ opinion and the verification of the financial statements by the auditors in order to make sure that the financial statements are giving a true, as well as a fair view of the firm (Weidmann and Lenzen, 2006). It is worth pointing out that the knowledge of ethics is capable of helping the accountants, as well as the auditors to overcome various kinds of ethical dilemmas, and this generally ensures that the correct choice is made though it might not be of benefit...
