  • Identify examples of conflicts of interest for both CPAs in public practice and business
  • Analyze how to approach conflicts of interest
  • Identify best practices for how to prevent or mitigate adverse impacts from conflicts of interest

Course Overview

Are Conflicts of Interest Affecting Your Professional Journey? Conflicts of interest pose significant challenges for CPAs across various domains, requiring proactive identification and management strategies. This course delves into the nuances of recognizing and addressing conflicts, offering practical solutions and case studies for effective conflict prevention and mitigation.

CPAs often navigate conflicts arising from personal relationships or financial investments within client engagements, potentially compromising their impartiality. Similarly, disputes may arise within CPA firms when partners or employees have conflicting personal or economic interests, undermining the firm's integrity and objectivity.

Even CPAs in business roles encounter conflicts related to personal investments that conflict with their fiduciary duties. For instance, finance managers may face conflicts if personal investments influence procurement or financial reporting decisions. Balancing personal interests with ethical obligations becomes imperative.

Key topics covered:

  • Conflict Identification
  • Conflict Types and Severity
  • Approaches to Conflict Management
  • Case Studies and Examples
  • Best Practices for Conflict Prevention and Mitigation 

This CPE Ethics course empowers CPAs to uphold professional integrity by navigating conflicts with transparency and ethical judgment, ultimately fostering trust and confidence in their services.
