Defining Ethics

     Code of ethics is extremely important in accounting field. It is because a lot of people who need a help from accountants have confusion or problems with their financial statement, so they need someone who is reliable, competent, and honest. According to eNotes.com, “[a]ccounting professionals should only undertake tasks that they can complete with professional competence, and they must carry out their responsibilities with sufficient care and diligence, usually referred to as due professional care or due care.”

My belief of the accounting field corresponds with the statement. I believe that accountants should deal with works that they are capable of and should be responsible for those works.

As a college student, I am trying to prepare for the work in my field by doing three things:

1)     I try to be as honest as possible. Lying is totally unacceptable in accounting field.

2)     I do not take too many courses at one semester since I won’t be able to handle them.

3)     I am responsible for my possession and work.
