Abstract
This paper investigates the importance of ethical sensitivity and ethical exposure of accounting students in a public university in Malaysia. In addition, this study also explores how attending ethic class would further affect their ethical sensitivity. Data was obtained from questionnaires and interviews.
The results appear to suggest that the final-year accounting students possess moderate ethical sensitivity. The interviews reveal that the students admit that their ethic course has provided the guidelines and their undergraduate studies have developed and created a baseline for them to deal with the issue of ethics and prepared them to a certain extent to deal with ethical issue. However, more exposure and experience are needed to apply the theories, lessons, and knowledge learned.
