Literature overview presented in this paper aims to identify and explore the main trends and pioneering approaches in Polish scientific literature on accounting ethics. Predominant approach can be characterized as: applied, empiric, praxis-oriented, legallybased and accountant-focused. Research is carried out by scientists specializing in accounting. The main trends are: focusing on two professions (accountant and financial auditor), and two spheres: book-keeping and financial statements, interpreting accounting ethics from practical point of view, as applied ethics, limiting accounting ethics to legal aspects and professional codes.
