Ethics and Human Governance From the Perspective of Accounting Educators

This thought-provoking book proposes a fresh approach to accounting ethics education—one that integrates the principle of human governance to foster a more ethically-conscious generation of accountants. Rather than delving into the specifics of human governance, it suggests how universities can weave this concept into existing curricula. If human governance is to be taught as a standalone subject, new course outlines and delivery methods must be developed, grounded in the religious philosophy that shapes this perspective. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in academia and as a Chartered Accountant in Malaysia, the author explores the absence of the "human element" in current accounting programs and addresses the urgent need for ethical training in a profession rife with corruption. This is a call to action for universities and educators to redefine accounting education and cultivate accountants who are not just skilled, but humanely aware and ethically driven. This book provides the insights and inspiration needed to make a meaningful change.
