Well, that's a problem in ethics, not in the knowledge of accountancy. You can 
be a great accountant but be unethical. And you can be a great technical 
communicator and unethical. Or a terrible technical communicator and unethical 
(Motel Boy, anyone?). 

I don't know what certification would add, especially since no one can zero in 
on *what* the certification would be about.  Word? Framemaker? Baking brownies 
for SMEs?  The best certification I've found for myself is a nice group of 
satisfied clients who feel they've received value from my work for them.
