BRAZILIAN SCI/ENTIFIC PRODUCTION IN THE AREA OF ACCOUNTING WITH A FOCUS ON ETHICS

Abstract

This article presents a review of the studies carried out that have addressed the relationship between accounting and ethics. The periods analyzed were between the years 2007 and 2015 in national journals in the area of administration and accounting classified with the concept A2, B1, B2, B3 and B4 by Capes. The theme of Ethics is not explored in the way it should be by business researchers, with only 41 publications in nine years (2007 to 2015). It is concluded that a deep reflection on the subject is necessary, both by professionals and by class entities and their leaders, as well as by the academic community.
