Ethics & Trust

Trust is a precious commodity in business. Here, Chartered Accountants Worldwide presents articles, reports and opinion pieces that explore ethics and consider how finance professionals can promote integrity, openness and transparency in their organisations.

Trust and Ethics: The foundations of Chartered Accountancy

The foundations of Chartered Accountancy are trust and ethics. In a fast-paced financial world, Chartered Accountants play a pivotal role in upholding integrity and ensuring transparency in financial practices.

At the heart of our profession lies trust. Businesses and individuals rely on Chartered Accountants to provide accurate financial insights, and this trust is earned through unwavering commitment to honesty and confidentiality.

As guardians of financial information, Chartered Accountants hold a significant responsibility to act in the public interest, fostering confidence and stability in the financial realm.

It’s fitting therefore that Chartered Accountants Worldwide is exploring the theme of trust and ethics in business: the accountancy profession first arose from the aftermath of failed joint-stock companies and the need for greater public scrutiny. Government, stakeholders and the public now expect more from business than just a focus on the bottom line, and profit at all costs.

Armed with independence, professional scepticism and a questioning mindset, Chartered Accountants are well placed to help the organisations
