CIMA is committed to upholding the highest ethical and professional standards, and maintaining public confidence in management accounting.
Ethics underpins everything we do as management accountants. Whether you’re just starting out or have been an accountant for years, a good understanding of the ethical issues you might face is important.
CIMA’s Code of Ethics is a guide to making the right choices. All students and members are required to comply with the Code and to adopt the fundamental principles in everything they do in their work.
Summary of the Code of Ethics
Read the first 'Ethics in action', a new feature on FM where once a month we'll explore an ethical dilemma and look at how the Code of Ethics can guide you. This month, we're looking at misleading reporting.
Explore the dilemma
Our Code of Ethics applies to all CIMA members and registered students. The Code has recently been updated and the new version will be enforced from 1st January 2020.
View the Code and learn about the upcoming changes
Knowing how to respond to an ethical dilemma isn’t always easy. We’ve created a range of resources which can support you in understanding the Code of Ethics and applying ethical principles to your work every day.
View the resources
We offer an ethics helpline and inbox, where we can guide you through the Code of Ethics. There is lots of other support available to you.
Ensure that you keep Ethics in focus with our series of blogs featuring research and ethical business news

This guide provides an overview of all the ethics support and resources that are available. It also includes suggestions on how to incorporate these resources in events and training activities, or use them individually to practice ethical decision making.
CIMA members and students worldwide have a responsibility to be fully aware of the implications of anti-corruption legislation in their market as well as the implications of laws with global reach such as the UK Bribery Act 2010 and the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
