NAA ethics update

Article Abstract:

The National Association of Accountants is continuing to support ethics in business as an important objective, and recently approved, in principal, a report entitled 'NAA Ethics Program.' The report includes: a revision of the bylaws to include the ethics program as actual bylaws; the development of an ethics council to help members with ethical decisions; and ongoing publication of current ethical considerations. The proposed changes to the bylaws include: mandatory expulsion from the Association for conviction of a felony; disciplinary actions for non-felony alleged violations; development of sanctions other than expulsion; and a provision which prohibits members from resigning until after the investigation against them is concluded.
