Identifying Ethical Hypernorms For Accounting Educators, Steven Mintz
Identifying Ethical Hypernorms For Accounting Educators, Steven Mintz
Steven Mintz
Accounting educators have a unique role in academe because students learn about codes of ethics that will guide their actions as professionals. We identify hypernorms related to internal auditing educators that reflect unethical behaviors believed to be universally unacceptable by that community. We then compare the results to a prior survey of accounting educators and identify ethical principles for accounting academics in their roles as teachers and researchers. The results might help to develop a code of ethics for accounting educators to help them serve as role models for students as they prepare to enter the accounting profession.
