Description
Ethics is a fundamental pillar of the profession and essential to being in public practice. CPAs are known for integrity and reliability and a strong practitioner is valued by their clients. It is critical to protect that reputation.
This course will help practitioners better understand ethics and its impact on being in public practice. We make decisions on a daily basis; some have little impact on us and some have a significant impact. The session reviews various ethical decision-making frameworks and how they can be put into use. Recognizing biases and how they impact our decisions is another aspect of ethics that further enhances our ability to make the right decision.
Through the use of fun "what would you do" scenarios, illustrative examples and practical guidance, this ethics course will help you meet the requirements of being in public practice.
