Ethical behavior and professional conduct are the backbones of the accounting and auditing profession. Based on these ethical principles, the credibility of the profession has been built. Irrespective of whether you are practicing in public industry, or business and industry, acting in accordance with the requirements that define ethical and professional behavior is a must. It is known as the Code of professional conduct.
