Abstract

This study compares managerial culture and ethical norms to see how managerial culture in the Big Four makes possible or difficult the enforcement of ethical standards. The results of a thematic analysis of thirty-eight semi-structured interviews with current and former employees of the Big Four show how certain characteristics of the managerial culture in the Big Four ? standardization, communication, quantitative objectives, competition between employees, ?court? spirit ? can interfere with the implementation of ethical norms : quality of service, team spirit, professional development, individual achievement. These interactions lead to dilemmas that this study aims to clarify.
