What does applied ethics have to do with accounting?

In this session, Professor Ann Gillian Chu, PhD (St Andrews), FCA, FCCA, FCPA, draws on over a decade of professional accounting experience in Hong Kong and Canada, together with her academic research in applied ethics, to explore the relationship between ethics and accountancy.

Professor Chu will introduce key frameworks in applied ethics and discuss how these perspectives can support accountants in Hong Kong as they navigate professional responsibilities and ethical judgement.
