Abstract

Developing work on ethics in the context of accounting offices is a challenge, given that different interpretations may arise, since ethics are influenced by several factors involving human behavior. The objective of this work is to analyze the knowledge of the accountant's code of ethics from the perspective of accountants in a city in Santa Catarina. The methodology used in this work is classified as descriptive, with a quantitative approach and in terms of procedures, it is a survey. The population is made up of 114 accountants from Brusque, while the sample was 49 elements. The analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics. The survey revealed that many accountants interviewed were aware of the Code of Ethics, however some practices had different opinions. Some interviewees preferred to be neutral on certain issues, demonstrating that this is still a sensitive topic.
