Academic accounting literature devoted to ethics is small, yet over the past 5 years there has been a significant improvement in the area. This study is a literature review focused on the accounting ethics research. Articles and theses/dissertations published on accounting ethics in the last 10 years were examined. The sampled studies have been analyzed. Patterns and trends in publication outlets and the type of research conducted were identified and explored in this study by using content analysis method. Based on a sample of 70 articles and 19 theses/dissertations gathered from peer-reviewed journals and website of Council of Higher Education Thesis Center, the characteristics of what have been published in the past 10 years are analyzed. In order to develop a comprehensive review of articles and theses/dissertations, we used keywords such as “accounting”, “auditing”, “ethics”, “accounting ethics” and “morality” to reach the studies. We identified a significant literature on accounting ethics published as articles or theses/dissertations with an initial increase from 2014. Researchers can use this study to see missing areas in accounting ethics research area.
