Montvale, N.J., October 18, 2017 - IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants), the association of accountants and financial professionals in business, announced today the release of a new book, “Curt Verschoor On Ethics – Timely Columns from Strategic Finance Magazine.”
“Curt Verschoor On Ethics” provides management accounting and finance professionals with real-world, proven insights on key business ethics topics and serves as a guide to improve professional judgment, model ethical behavior, and assist with ensuring integrity and ethical decision making in business.
This 12-chapter book is authored by Curt Verschoor, CMA® (Certified Management Accountant), CPA, and former senior finance officer of several large, international public companies. Verschoor is also a thought leader within IMA and a longtime author for its flagship publication, Strategic Finance. He oversaw the development of the revised IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice, and is now the current Chair-Emeritus of IMA’s Committee on Ethics.
