Abstract

Unethical business practices in South Africa, as in many other countries, is at the order of the day. As a result there is increasing pressure on the auditing and accounting professions to devote sufficient attention to business education during the training of prospective auditors and accountants. This is the second in a series of two articles regarding topics that should be included in a meaningful and informative business ethics course for undergraduate students in the fields of accounting and auditing.
