Accounting Ethics Education: An Interactive Approach

Abstract

An interactive and technological approach was used to discuss ethics with accounting students.  Students responded anonymously to ethics questions using wireless transmitters.  The students’ responses were shown to the group.  A customized DVD of movie scenes from “The Producers” and “Wall Street” and a still picture of Enron’s Code of Ethics were used to engage students in discussion. The procedures, the technology, and the benefits of the approach are presented.
