At this moment in history, we need ethical accountants more than ever. Paul Munter: “I wish to reiterate my firm belief that accounting and auditing matter and our profession is vital to capital formation and capital flows. Our financial markets and our economy rest on the bedrock confidence of investors in financial reporting, which in turn relies upon the collective efforts of all accounting professionals involved in our financial reporting system. Every accountant has a professional responsibility to conduct our work in a manner consistent with applicable standards, rules, and ethical obligations. When you maintain a focus on investors and the public interest in every decision you make, the broader objective of providing high quality financial information can be achieved, ensuring that what you do matters.”
