Description
Refresh and strengthen your PSAS knowledge by revisiting the conceptual foundations, handbook structure, and how PSAS differs from ASPE and IFRS. The PSAS standards review helps you connect new public sector concepts to what you already know, improving speed and confidence when you encounter unfamiliar sections. The ethics component reinforces the CPA Code of Professional Conduct and equips you with a decision-making framework for real-world dilemmas in public sector settings. Expect interactive discussion and practical examples designed for immediate application.
Courses Include:
- PSAS: Review of the Standards
While some professionals encounter certain standards on a daily basis, other practitioners require a review of standards that they fail to encounter regularly in their work. Accordingly, this course focuses on general PSAS concepts, the structure of the PSAS handbook, and differences between PSAS and those of ASPE or IFRS.
- Ethics at Our Core
This course will provide participants with an opportunity to refresh and update their knowledge of the CPA Code, thus enabling accounting professionals to build competence in interpreting and applying these principles for resolving a variety of realistic situations.
