A new study, \u201cThe Accountancy Profession \u2014 Playing a Positive Role in Tackling Corruption\u201d from the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), shows professional accountants are playing a major, positive role in reducing corruption, along with other key actors in the global economy that support strong governance structures.<\/p>\n
Among the key findings, the study which was conducted by the Centre for Economics and Business Research has revealed that a higher percentage of accountants in the workforce strongly correlates to better outcomes in Transparency International\u2019s Global Corruption Perceptions Index.<\/p>\n
The study has also confirmed that the accountancy profession is a crucial part of strong national governance architectures that confront corruption, in partnership with good government and strong businesses. The study also showed that professional ethics, education and oversight \u2013 at the core of the global accountancy profession \u2013 are key to a positive impact in tackling corruption.<\/p>\n
