Program Overview

The IMA Course on 'Ethics for Success' features the acclaimed business ethics framework of Dr. Tom Morris' The Essentials of Ethical Success customized with lessons designed by industry expert Steve Player on important financial accounting ethics issues such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, budgeting processes, the IMA code of conduct and ethical decision-making.

If someone like the great philosopher Aristotle ran General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Merrill Lynch or Bank of America, how would things be different? If he had been in charge of Enron, Tyco or Global Crossing, how would recent headlines have changed? And, most important, if a great thinker like this could give you his best advice on the keys to ethical success, what would he say?

In The Essentials of Ethical Success, acclaimed business author and speaker Dr. Tom Morris answers this provocative question and offers a remarkably powerful new perspective on business ethics that is based on ancient wisdom. This incredibly practical business education program is designed to transform your corporate culture and enhance your life. "What is business ethics all about?" he asks. Surprisingly, Morris declares, it is much more than simply complying with ethical rules, policies and codes, but is geared toward discovering and living each day those core values that create long term strength.

Properly understood, business ethics is ultimately about human fulfillment, personal and organizational excellence and the conditions for great partnerships. The Essentials of Ethical Success focuses on developing for each of your employees a thorough understanding of what it means to be ethical in a business context, how to "step beyond just 'complying with the rules' to doing what is right" and the core values every ethical employee and company should embody. Simply put: Your employees will never hear anyone talk about ethics the way Tom Morris does.

Accounting Challenges and Best Practices from Steve Player includes six Accounting Ethics Perspectives that cover a variety of important accounting and finance ethics issues such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the IMA code of conduct, budgeting and ethical decision making exercises. You'll find that no business ethics program offers the value of the acclaimed and popular perspective of Tom Morris, which is delivered with great energy, humor and wisdom, combined with the most important 'nuts and bolt's' instruction on key accounting and finance ethical dilemmas facing your management and employees.
