1 Business Ethics Decision-making is the primary job of a manager, accountant etc. and some may involve ethical dilemmas Ethics  - moral principles; rules of conduct in a particular group/culture; values relating to human conduct; right, wrong, good, bad.  (ex., I shall not kill, I shall not steal, respect others, do unto others as I would want them to do unto me, etc.)

2 Business Ethics Ethical behaviour - legal behaviour with implications from a variety of variables including the individual, social, and corporate priorities.

3 Business Ethics Ethical dilemmas - situations faced by managers every day;  choice between alternatives in a situation that may result in personal/organizational benefit or may minimize losses to “save face”.

4 Why should accountants behave ethically?
it is required by the accounting governing bodies, and practicing professionals could lose their license if they behave unethically; new societal push for corporate responsibility in this information age; improved public image; government and professional regulation will not need to increase; employee/community pride will increase (less employee turnover); finally and perhaps most importantly, as humans we should have respect for each other and treat others as we would want to be treated.

5 Ethical Decision-Making Model
Define the dilemma or problem. List the facts including the stakeholders affected. List your options or alternatives. Evaluate and test the options: Is it legal? Does it meet the ICAO standards of professional conduct? Is it right?
