"This text is unique in its pragmatic approach to its subject matter, providing an effective balance between the theory and practical elements of accounting, sometimes more subtle ethical issues that confront its practitioners on a regular basis. Its methodical and comprehensive examination of ethical theory and everyday accounting practice illuminates decision-making for both practitioners and others seeking to access this otherwise complicated topic, Congratulations to authors!"
