(ex., I shall not kill, I shall not steal, respect others, do unto others as I would want them to do unto me, etc.)

Why should accountants behave ethically?
it is required by the accounting governing bodies, and practicing professionals could lose their license if they behave unethically; new societal push for corporate responsibility in this information age; improved public image; government and professional regulation will not need to increase; employee/community pride will increase (less employee turnover); finally and perhaps most importantly, as humans we should have respect for each other and treat others as we would want to be treated.

Ethical Decision-Making Model
Define the dilemma or problem. List the facts including the stakeholders affected. List your options or alternatives. Evaluate and test the options: Is it legal? Does it meet the ICAO standards of professional conduct? Is it right?
