The National Association of Accountants's statement on ethical standards for management accountants is presented. Management accountants must maintain high standards in the areas of competence, confidentiality, integrity, and objectivity. The responsibilities of management accountants include continually improving their skills, avoiding the disclosure of confidential information, avoiding participation in activities that would adversely affect the profession's reputation, and conveying information fairly and objectively.
