Ethics training for introductory accounting students: An analysis of effectiveness at a community college
by LaPanne, Susan E., Ph.D., CAPELLA UNIVERSITY, 2007, 110 pages; 3288779

Abstract:

The profession and the business community have demanded the infusion of ethics training into the undergraduate education of accountants. Although the Treadway Commission (1987) made the recommendation that ethics training should be included in introductory accounting courses, many accounting faculty have indicated their reluctance because of students' lack of technical skills at that level. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of ethics training in the introductory courses on moral reasoning in community college students. This causal-comparative study will examine the moral reasoning of students in an experimental group for whom ethics will be infused into the introductory accounting course versus those enrolled in courses covering standard introductory accounting skills and topics.
