Abstract: We have seen a growing number of extraordinary financial frauds over the past few years. So critics call for more focus on ethics, and more pro‐ethics activities. But do ethics programs really reduce fraud? The results of one study may surprise you. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…More specifically, Jackubowski et al (2002) note that accountants operating internationally need to understand the implications of cultural differences relating to ethical codes. Other research has suggested that codes have little or no effect on ethical behaviour in the accounting context (Robinson-Backmon & Finney 1999, Singleton et al 2003.

Esses resultados não corroboram com Robinson-Backmon e Finney (1999) e Singleton et al (2003) ao mencionarem que os códigos de éticas têm pouca influência sobre o agir ético do profissional.…”

As pesquisas de Robinson-Backmon e Finney (1999) e Singleton et al (2003) evidenciaram pouco efeito dos códigos de éticas sobre o comportamento ético em contexto real.…”
