This book addresses the specific issues that accountants are often obliged to resolve in the context of their work. The authors take a case-based, pragmatic approach to the subject, examining "real life" dilemmas often faced in the practice of accountancy. Each chapter investigates a specific issue, such as whistle-blowing or the implications of independence, and includes several case studies that put the theoretical analysis into practical perspective. Throughout, the authors seek to go beyond the formal codes of professional behavior to confront the subtle personal, corporate, and governmental pressures that make ethical decision making difficult.

This is a book about the ethics of teaching in the context of higher education. While many books focus on the broader socially ethical topics of widening participation and promoting equal opportunities, this unique book concentrates specifically on the lecturer's professional responsibilities. It covers the real-life, messy, everyday moral dilemmas that confront university teachers when dealing with students and colleagues - whether arising from facilitated discussion in the classroom, deciding whether it is fair to extend a deadline, investigating suspected plagiarism or dealing with complaints. Bruce Macfarlane analyses the prescriptive professional codes of practice employed by many universities, and promotes the active development of professional virtues over bureaucratic recommendations. The material is presented in a scholarly yet accessible style, and case examples are used throughout to encourage a practical, reflective approach. Teaching With Integrity bridges the pedagogic gap currently separating the debate about teaching and learning in higher education from the broader social and ethical environment in which it takes place.
