Ethics I

This course is designed to help the student understand ethical reasoning and behavior, and it will help them to define their own moral compass using case studies as the primary source of instruction. The primary goal is to make the student a role model for others in ethical behavior. Students will learn not just how to determine the proper ethical choice; more importantly, they will learn how to effectively implement the behavioral changes required to achieve solutions to ethical dilemmas. To quote (while paraphrasing) the authors of the textbook, we strive in [these courses] not only to educate accounting students to be future leaders in the accounting profession but to stimulate [the student's] ethical perception and cultivate virtue thereby awakening [their] sense of duty and obligation to the public interest.
