Why Transparency in Accounting Matters

Paper Summary:

It is occasionally heard that good business ethics leads to good business period. Some people may dispute this old maxim for a number of reasons, but there is no question that integrity in business is an excellent way of fostering professional relationships, of building a loyal client base and of preserving a hard-earned business reputation. Suffice it to say transparency in financial and or managerial accounting is very important for all of those reasons, but it is also important because it protects other innocents for the most part who would otherwise suffer needlessly because of the dishonesty of a few. This paper points out the value in practicing good ethics in business, citing improved professional relationships, greater customer loyalty and protection of the innocent as the main reasons.
