Imagine this scene: a payroll clerk at a supermarket in Barbados is asked by a friend to reveal a manager’s salary. The friend says, “It is only between us.” The clerk now has an accounting problem, not because of arithmetic, but because of ethics. Accounting is built on trust. If users cannot trust the accountant, they will not trust the figures, the reports or the advice. In other words, good ethics supports good accounting.
