Ethics plays a critical role in providing useful financial information.

Investors and other users must have confidence in a company, its


accountants, and its outside auditors that the information presented in
financial statements is relevant, complete, neutral, and free from error

Example 1: Companies may use aggressive accounting practices to misrepresent their


earnings, and executives may misuse their companies’ funds.

Example 2: a corporate board of directors that undermines the goals of its own company
or a public accounting firm that fails its auditing duty to watch for and disclose
wrongdoing

Example 3: in certain circumstances, it appears as if GAAP may not have been used to
resolve particular accounting issues because there are several conflicting rules, because
no specific GAAP rules seem applicable, or because of fraud.
