What conventions are used with accidentals and tied notes?

If I have a tied note across a bar line, say 2 whole G notes, and I have an accidental, say a sharp, on the first G, my assumption is that the accidental applies as well to the second G because it is tied. If I wanted it to not apply, what would be the convention? Would it be simply to not have a tie note in the first place and have two separate notes, a sharped G and a G itself?
