Course Overview

The myCPE Ethics course satisfies the CPE requirements for ethics while also advancing your professional knowledge. We are a top supplier of CPE courses in ethics. The ethics standards for CPAs, tax preparers, and other accounting and finance professionals are met by our AICPA ethics CPE webinars. MyCPE ethics CPE courses highlight important ethical criteria with applicable, real-world examples to make them easy to comprehend.

Whether you are a CPA in public practice or business, the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct applies to you. This course summarizes nearly two hundred pages of the code, giving you a clear and concise understanding of its overall framework, principles, rules, standards, and examples of ethical conflicts.

This Ethics CPE course also teaches you to evaluate specific procedures and recommendations so that your decision-making and actions are ethically sound. More importantly, you will gain insight into the meaning behind the code: the formation of a principled professional in all aspects of your career. Since the AICPA code is used as a benchmark for state codes, this course will be useful in preparing you to meet state requirements as well.

CPAs must seamlessly transition to a profession that relies heavily on conformance with technical and ethical standards. It is critical for CPAs to seek to serve the public interest with a strong sense of character, integrity, competence, and due professional care. In addition, CPAs must appropriately safeguard any threats to independence and objectivity.  This online CPE course will provide an overview of the basic principles of the AICPA’s Code of Professional Conduct with practical implementation examples.

In this online CPE webinar, you will experience a fresh, updated understanding of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct.

Major Topics Covered in this Ethics CPE Webinar:

  • The AICPA Code of Professional Responsibility 
  • AICPA Principles
  • AICPA Rules
  • AICPA Conceptual Framework
  • Real-world case studies that highlight specific challenges to Code compliance
  • Interpretations Under the Integrity and Objectivity Rule 1.180.010

This 4-hour course uses practical "Case in Point" examples to provide a hands-on application of the material. Ideal for CPAs who need a general professional ethics requirement (i.e., those in all states except those that require a state-specific ethics course).

This was the best ethics course I have ever taken. Loved the approach of Mr. Spalding by applying it to real world situations. So helpful that he explained the conceptual framework and the thought process behind the two "pathways" and how to get and stay on them. Very good explanation of the role of personal morality in the process. He is extremely knowledgeable and easy to listen to. This course helped me tremendously as I think about my responsibilities as a CPA. Thank you, Mr. Spalding, for a job well done.

This was one of the best traditional ethics courses I've taken (VA now has a variety of ethics possibilities). Ethics is paramount to a CPA, but after a few years of courses (or 20 or 30) the cases, relevant section numbers and dollar penalties become repetitive. Spalding did a good job pf presenting the material in way that was interesting and completely explained the ethical conflicts. I'll look for him as a presenter again.
