I shared your article with accounting friends of mine — all of whom were actually shocked to see the numbers so high for honesty and ethics; all things considered. I hope firms continue to push honesty and integrity in any way possible. We need to work hard to not only maintain our image, but to keep plugging ahead.

Of course, they should be ranked much higher… Obviously not many accountants are inspiring strong trust these days.

I am sure this is because many states are requiring us to go sit in a mandated ethics class every year. (Joking, of course.) Perhaps Congress should be required to take some ethics classes.
