Accountability and Ethics (991N1)
15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)
Spring teaching
The module aims to develop your understanding of contemporary issues related to accountability and ethics in public and private sector organisations. Accountability and ethics issues are discussed from a political-economy context to provide insights into the interests of corporations and governments. The challenges involved in the pursuit of the often-conflicting objectives of shareholder wealth maximization and the interests of other stakeholders (e.g. governments, taxpayers, NGOs, banks) in society are critically examined.
