As humble recipients of the Better Business Bureau’s Ethics Award, The Accountant’s Office holds not only our team but our clients to a high ethical standard. That’s something we’ve done from Day One.

It’s not enough for you, as the business owner to be ethical, but your team needs to know what your ethics are and need to adhere to them as well. How do your people live out ethics day to day?

1. Have a written Ethics Policy in your company’s employee manual.
2. Make sure all of your employees know who to contact if they encounter an ethical situation.
3. Make ethics a part of your company culture.
4. Celebrate ethics with your team by communicating the successful handling of an ethical situation.
5. Model the ethics that you want to see in your team.
