Certificate of Ethics in Accounting and Professional Independence of Accountants

Abstract

Ethical standards in accounting constitute an important element in the functioning of economic entities and in presenting reliable financial information used by all stakeholders when taking important decisions. In order to analyse the issue of using accounting ethics, a survey which indicated the determinants of unethical behaviour and the possibilities for improving the situation in terms of their observing and ways of strengthening their independence was conducted. Following the study, a concept of implementing an account books certificate which estimates their accuracy in the legal and ethical aspects was formulated.
