3 How effective do you think such a framework is in (a) ensuring accountants act ethically and (b) enforcing or penalizing unethical behavior?

4 Would a set of specific rules about what constitutes ethical and unethical behaviors in specific circumstances be more or less useful than the principles in the code of conduct outlined?
