Accounting Ethical Behaviour And Its Impact On Firms Performance In Ghana

Abstract

This research study aims to investigate the relationship between accounting ethical behavior and firm performance. Ethical behavior in accounting plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and transparency of financial information, which in turn can impact the overall performance of organizations. The study will utilize a quantitative research approach and collect data through self-administered questionnaires from a sample of accountants working in various firms. The questionnaire will assess factors influencing ethical decision making and the obstacles faced by accountants in adhering to ethical standards. The impact of accounting ethical behavior on firm performance will be measured using the Likert scale. The findings of this study will contribute to the existing knowledge on the importance of ethical behavior in accounting and its implications for firm performance. The results can provide valuable insights for firms, educational institutions, and professional bodies in developing effective ethical guidelines and practices. Ultimately, it is expected that a better understanding of the relationship between accounting ethical behavior and firm performance will contribute to improved ethical practices and overall organizational success.
