Abstract – The Basic Principles of Accountant Ethics: Al-Baqarah and Pancasila Perspectives

Main Purpose – This study seeks to develop the basic principles of ethical accounting with religious values and Pancasila.

Method – This study uses interviews with accounting academics and accounting service providers. The data analysis technique uses the values of Al-Baqarah and Pancasila.

Main Findings – The condition of value freedom on the ethical quality of accountants currently does not tend towards worldly greed. This condition encourages the importance of a complete understanding of a human being to harmonize his knowledge and actions with the heart. This study proposes the concept of basic ethical principles based on Al-Baqarah and Pancasila as an alternative.

Theory and Practical Implications - This study finds that spiritual and Pancasila perspectives are integral and correlated. Both of these values can be positioned to accommodate the ethical quality of accountants.

Novelty – Religious foundations and Pancasila are combined to become the basic principles of accounting ethics.
