Learning Objective

  • Discuss core principles of the AICPA’s Code of Professional Conduct applicable to all CPAs, including conflicts of interest, preparing and reporting information, competence, confidential information, and more.
  • Explain common ethical dilemmas CPAs face and how to safeguard against them effectively.
  • Apply AICPA ethical principles to real-life scenarios in accounting practice and decision-making.
  • Identify and mitigate ethical threats in practice through proactive measures and professional judgment.
  • Ensure and maintain independence when performing attest engagements to meet regulatory and ethical standards.

Course Overview

Ethical dilemmas often arise in accounting, but knowing how to navigate them is essential to maintaining trust and professionalism. This course dives deep into the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, providing practical guidance to help you stay on track.

All CPAs must follow the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, which is a defining characteristic of the CPA designation. When attesting service providers' independence, for example, CPAs must overcome greater obstacles in public practice. This course will highlight key enforcement practices and outline specific rules for ensuring independence, particularly in attest engagements. These principles are designed to equip you with the tools necessary to handle ethical issues confidently and appropriately.

Key topics:

  • AICPA Code of Ethics
  • Threats to Professional Integrity
  • Maintaining Professional Independence
  • Attest Client Relationship Guidelines
  • Safeguards Against Ethical Dilemmas

By the end of the course, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to apply these ethical standards in everyday practice. Join us to reinforce your professional reputation, sharpen your decision-making skills, and ensure that your actions always align with the highest ethical standards.

NOTE:  This course, approved by the Virginia Board of Accountancy (VBOA) to satisfy the Virginia-specific ethics requirement, is valid until January 31st, 2026.
