Features: This book is one of the "Ethics in Accounting Series," a collection of essays discussing ethical issues in accounting and finance. The editors of this book have shown great ingenuity, with a keen eye for capturing a crucial yet long-neglected issue—ethical issues in accounting and finance—that is vital to financial markets and the accounting profession. The book explores three themes: trust, responsibility, and control, offering both professional and accessible, insightful explanations and discussions. The case studies and analysis section is also a highlight, covering representative yet distinctly different organizations such as international credit and commercial banking, the Dutch accounting profession, and the U.S. defense industry. The stability and orderly operation of financial markets require the openness and transparency of financial accounting information. In China, issues in this regard are becoming increasingly prominent. The publication of this book holds significant reference value for financial and accounting professionals as well as relevant departments responsible for formulating industry regulations.
