Dynamic Business Environment
FOCUS ON ETHICS (Located before the Chapter Summary in each
chapter of the text.)
The Focus on Ethics feature for Chapter 1 is the IMA Statement of Ethical
Professional Practice. Instructors can use this list of ethical principles
and standards to lead a class discussion. The discussion can also range to
consideration of how these standards may have been violated by
accountants and managers involved in the various ethical scandals
uncovered over the past several years. It is also useful to discuss the pros
and cons of the procedures for “Resolving Ethical Issues” that IMA
suggests for its members when they believe they know about ethical
lapses in their organizations.
We also introduce here the connection to the “Ethics Unwrapped” video
series that can supplement the discussion of ethics in the context of each
chapter. In each chapter of the text, we have suggested topic videos in
the series that align with that chapter. Discussion guidance and
questions relating to the videos can be found on the “Ethics Unwrapped”
website at the URL provided. This resource is provided by permission

ways to protect confidential information in their own computers,
in cloud computing data centers, and while moving across the
internet, while at the same time sharing the information
necessary to complete transactions. Another effect of e-
commerce is the dramatically increased speed with which
business transactions can be conducted. In addition, there will be
dramatic changes in the way managerial accounting procedures
are carried out, one example being cloud-based budgeting, which
is the enterprise-wide and electronic completion of a company’s
budgeting process using cloud-based software and data storage.
