Ethical perceptions with respect to individual’s cultural background is explored through
heavily conducted literature review. The theoretical framework of the study is based on
national and international publications. In the literature survey, it is observed that
perception of ethics notion by Turkish accounting professionals is still unclear at certain
points. On the other hand, as ethical behavior is not achieved over night, thoroughly
conducted research sheds light on the fact that formation of ethics, among other reasons,
is directly affected by culture.
