Cheffers, Mark and Michael Pakaluk. (2007) Understanding Accounting Ethics. Allen David Press, 2nd edition. Review "... a text that is long overdue. I recommend Understanding Accounting Ethics to all accountants students, professors and practitioners." --Ross D. Fuerman - Associate Professor of Accounting, Suffolk University, Boston. " I have been a CPA for 30 years and, after reading your outstanding book for the second time over the weekend, I cannot remember a time I have felt more pride and respect for our profession. You know some of us old CPAs were brought up under the tutelage of CPAs who began their careers in the 1940s and even before. Back then as I remember it, there really weren't any ethics courses, per se; we just went to work and were taught to do the right thing every day without giving it much philosophical thought. I am almost embarrassed to admit your book is such a revelation to me, as it provides such terrific insight into the bedrock tenets of our profession." --George W. DuRant, CPA/ABV, ASA |

"Will not knowledge of [the good], then, have a great influence on life? Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more likely to hit upon what is right?"
-Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics
