Total Credits: 4 including 4 Behavioral Ethics - Non-technical
In the 1976 movie, Network, a news anchor played by Peter Finch is so upset with world events that he delivers a speech on TV with the famous line “I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.” These days when we learn of foolish business decisions leading to a crisis, many of us in the accounting profession feel the same way. Everyone agrees that self-regulation is better than government-imposed regulations. However, in recent years we see case after case of short-term profits trumping long-term organizational safety and sustainability. The result is often a self-inflicted disaster impacting a company's investors and other key stakeholders. When this occurs, the public demands justice, and usually only the government has the clout and resources to administer that justice. But the public is fickle. Once the crisis is over, we want government to exit. It doesn't quite work that way. “We invite authoritarianism to visit as a temporary guest to get us through the crisis, but once settled into our back bedroom, it may be impossible to evict.” The obvious solution, then, is for companies to do the right thing to begin with by conducting themselves with the highest standards of integrity.
