Exploration Case: Professional Ethics Resources

Management accountants live in the inner workings of a business, deep inside the numbers that

measure everything, where they shape, see, and understand the nature of the business and its

activities unlike any other role. As such, the exposure to ethical issues comes from all sides.

Management accountants must have a working knowledge of the ethical environment as a principle

player in avoiding trouble for all stakeholders. Our textbook does a nice job introducing the IMAs

ethical standards, and this case gives you the opportunity to dig deeper into two management

accounting associations to learn more about managerial accounting ethical resources, and to share

what you learn with your classmates.

Pick ONE of the following sites, then complete the assignment in that site.

Go to https://www.imanet.org/career-resources/ethics-center?ssopc=1

OR

Go to https://www.cgma.org/topics/ethics.4.html

OR

https://www.ethicsboard.org/

Find a subject, feature, or anything that interests you within the ethics content of either resource.

Pick a small section, this should be short, easy, and should leave plenty of room for others to choose.

If your class activity is an online discussion board, pick a section of the site that no other

students have posted yet. It is wise to post your section choice first, then spend time writing

and post your content by the submission deadline. Duplicating topics results in a zero score.

If your class activity involves in-classroom discussion then make an effort to browse a bit

before selecting a topic to avoid too much duplication.

Write up a short report on your selection fulfilling these requirements:

1) What you learned: Provide enough summarized detail so that other students can learn what you

learned from reading your report. This should be the longest part of your post, about 200 words for

just this section. No points will be earned for copying & pasting content.

Your report needs to provide learning to others who read it in order to earn your points.

Writing that a feature was interesting or offered useful information towards some un-

written end is not enough. Tell us WHAT you learned, more than just THAT you learned

something. Tell us the useful information you learned to benefit the reader of your post.

If your section has huge lists, pull out key items and provide detail on these key items. Dont

feel obligated to include everything; convey what matters most.

2) Why it matters: Tell us why your section matters, what good it can do for people affected, and any

other meaningful result an interested person might expect to be described.

3) Please provide a direct link to the web page of the item you are covering so the reader can easily

find it.

Discuss this statement: Business competition encourages improved product quality and increased customer satisfaction. And What factors caused American business to develop into a mixed economic system rather than some other type of economic system?

Requirements:

Your answer must be in 100 words

Respond to student in 50 words:

Competition encourages companies to be more “customer-driven”, so they focus more heavily on the quality of the product and the needs of their customers. Without competition, a monopoly can be established and product quality would be made with maximum profit in mind.

Politics, social inequalities and incentivization are 3 important factors that developed American business into a mixed economy. Our capitalism market incentivizes entrepreneurs to be innovative and invent…but through fiscal policy that our government places it can stabilize the economy in times where it is needed. Social inequalities also gave-way for our government to not remain strictly in favor of capitalism. However, with a good mixed-economy we avoided brain drain.
