摘要：This paper studied how accounting academics’ defiance of professional competence and due care (PCDC) threatens the existence of their employing universities in Ghana. Through cross-sectional survey, data collected from 1,225 accountants and analysed by Cronbach’s alpha, tests of differences-between-proportions, and one-way ANOVA showed that few academics defy PCDC yet students would not recommend their universities to others. Defiance threatens universities’ existence through reduction in enrolment, loss of accreditation/charter, and high labour turnover. The accounting profession and universities must provide activities, policies, practices, programmes and punitive measures that are capable of averting incidents of defiance of the PCDC principle.
