Ethics in Accounting
As a female CPA with 21 years in the business, I have experienced the most unethical, cutthroat, and illegal business practices in my own personal dealings with male CPA’s. No wonder the profession has had image problems. If we cannot treat each other respectfully, then where are we? I am currently involved in another legal situation in order to receive profits due me from my former partners (this is the second such partnership dispute I have had in the past three years, and and one of many unethical situations I have encountered since I began in 1985). I need a venue to share these experiences, to become aware of resources available, and to help the professional become more socially responsible to its own. My experience is that even the lawyers (men) are partial to the “male” CPA firms old manners of taking advantage of young women in the profession.
Any advice, direction, or possibly taking action in this area, would be helpful. Thank you.
