Description

Accountants are truth-seekers and truth-tellers. And when we know something significant or material to be true, we can't pretend otherwise. This accounting and ethics webcast is the second of two "Do Ask and Do Tell" workshops, and considers the ethical duty to disclose ... even when disclosure creates conflict.
