However, the account’s integrity has created many problems and these problems are a bad influence to the economy. For example, the British accounting scandal broke the Bahrain Company, the United States Enron Company incident revealed an auditing loophole, and China’s accounting fraud Yinguangxia incident caused countless problems. The decline in professional and ethical standards of accounting personnel brings harm to a country’s economic and social development. The integrity issues of accounting professionals need to be brought to people’s attention and there is a need for a timely solution to the problem.Under these circumstances, this paper explores the moral and ethical accounting concepts and then briefly introduces Britain and other major countries’ ethics systems for accounting professionals to learn from these countries’ experiences.
