Self and Community Our World

Question: Discuss about theSelf and Communityfor Our World. Answer: Introduction Human beings have a great responsibility towards ensuring flourish of all people in the society. The current accounting professional practice world requires people who are knowledgeable, creative and critical, and reflective when it comes to solving the challenges surrounding the enterprise. For me, every business organisation faces numerous challenges and issues which must get addressed in the most appropriate methods. As a student in the field of Diploma in Commerce, (major in accounting), my research shows that problems which hinder success and progress of a company's objectives are human based. Such issues include financial frauds, poor cooperation amongst stakeholders, and communication problems. Most of these matters in the commerce sector relate to the dignity of human person and attempts of realising the common good within the professional practice and may be addressed in the following approaches now and in the future. I have been able to observe that there are people whose moral and ethical professional practices are vulnerable in their communication language, creativeness, knowledge and skills, and career attributes in a manner that poses a threat to the overall performance of an enterprise. I have noted that fraud is one big cancer in the operational effectiveness of an organisation. Being a student of commerce, major accounting, accountants have a perceived pressure, opportunity and driven by rationalisation to conceal money for organisations. Currently, the responsible managers in the profession establish internal controls and strict regulations to eliminate this problem. I fully support the steps taken so far in respect of the same. In my undergraduate studies, I have also noted that lack of cooperation from key members of staff to the management also hinders the success of business especially when the accountants disagree with the records presented by other departments. The accounting professionals face a significant problem in their attempts to integrate the common good into the business practice especially when it comes to financing and allocating of duties. Most times, people within the workplace disagree regarding the ways in which the staff appreciation expenses should be balanced with the benefits realised by the organisation. As a student who understands the importance of human dignity, I have seen it possible for a professional accountant to come up with compensatory strategies so that to eliminate this disagreement. If given the role of chief accountant, I would demonstrate the values of knowledge, skills, and professional attributes in the most ethical manner so that the other workmates emulate me; this would reduce the gap existing between the conflicting parties. Again, most accounting and finance departments of a firm act unethically in portraying their professional codes of practice by disclosing the primary customer's privacy and secrets to the outsiders and this highly creates competition. Lack of confidentiality of clients data arises when the employee does not explicitly recognise their responsibility to the common interest, the business climate, and to the society as a whole. To protect the privacy of clients, if am in the chief accountant, I would establish professional codes of practices which go hand in hand with well laid internal control systems so as to ensure privy of some set of confidential information. Further, poor interpersonal relationships have been arising between the employees themselves, employees and management, or the organisation with the customers or publics. As a student in the commerce sector, once recruited in a firm as an accountant, I would advocate for the use of excellent communication approaches so as to bring unity and harmonise people's ideas towards one direction. My research shows that the current managements have decentralised communication approaches and made it possible for anyone within the organisation to give his or her idea irrespective of whether a suggestion or complaint. My opinion on this method of recognising every person's input in the running of the companies operations is that it creates the common good to all and thus motivating everyone to remain creative and maximise full potential in their professional practice. Lastly, I fully support that the recognition of common good for all within a workplace creates a healthy environment for solidarity and participation since the human dignity is upheld.
