Beyond the Code: Full disclosure is the right ethics move

Financial Management (FM) magazine

This episode of the FM podcast is the start of an occasional series on the show. That series is called Beyond the Code.

In this case, that means taking a close look at the CIMA Code of Ethics.

Xose Lumor, manager, Advocacy and Professional Ethics – Management Accounting at AICPA & CIMA, together as the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, talks with disputes attorney Alastair Campbell, of the firm Level, about some of the ethical issues that accountants should be prepared to face.

The vast majority of CIMA members comply with regulations, and misconduct is not the norm. But there are instances where ethical violations are reported or alleged. Campbell takes listeners through some of those examples and reminds accountants that being “unimpeachable in terms of your integrity” is one key way to make sure no ethics missteps occur.
