Abstract

This bibliographic review article, focuses on the construction of the ethical identity of the public accountant, through the analysis of the points of view of Kant, Nietzsche, Taylor, Habermas, Lehman, Gaffikin and Lindawati. Starting from the construction of the identity of the individual (public accountant), going through the importance of discourse, not as a simple language, but as a reflective form of argumentation. There are some cases of financial scandals that justify the establishment of a Code of Professional Ethics, the success of which is achieved through the adherence (and submission) of public accountants to codes of conduct, which would facilitate the construction of an ethical identity that would make the public accountants will act with strong morale.
