Tenth Symposium on Ethics in Accounting:
Accounting Ethics Education and Research at a Crossroads
Description/Objectives:
The Professionalism and Ethics Committee of the American Accounting Association invites faculty and doctoral students to attend the 10th Ethics Research Symposium that will take place just prior to the 2005 American Accounting Association Annual Meeting in San Francisco. The Symposium will focus on all aspects of accounting ethics research, including research on accounting ethics education.
Accounting ethics education is at a crossroads. It has been 15 years since this committee offered its first seminar on teaching ethics in accounting programs. How much ethics is covered in the accounting curriculum? What is the future of teaching ethics in accounting programs? Can accounting ethics be taught/learned? If yes, what are the best approaches, resources, and strategies?
Accounting ethics research is also at a crossroads. How far has accounting ethics research come in becoming a mainstream research area? What exactly is accounting ethics research (e.g., what are its boundaries; what are its paradigms)? What is the past, present, and future of accounting ethics research?
Format/Structure:
The format will be similar to the 2004 Symposium. We will have:
