Course Overview

The course has been approved by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy.

A CPA is challenged in today's work world to not only serve his/her client or employer but also to protect the public interest by ensuring that there is transparency in financial reporting or there is fair administration of tax laws. In balancing the two interests, a CPA may find him or herself in an ethical dilemma. 

One of the most important tools is to know what the right thing to do is. Our challenge as CPAs is to use good judgment in ascertaining the best of these choices. This judgment must be free of biases, must be objective, and independent of any client demands that are in contravention of an individual's principles, the Code of Professional Conduct, and any other accounting rules to which a CPA is subject.

This online CPE webinar is designed to assist the CPA in learning how to manage the ethical challenges that arise in today’s work environment.

Major topics covered in this course:

  • Introduction
  • Basic ethical philosophies and values that individuals rely on to determine which actions are right and which are wrong.
  • Review the various guidelines, such as the AICPA Code of Conduct and/or state-specific rules, to which CPAs must adhere.
  • Discuss ways in which individuals can improve their chances of behaving.

Join this CPE Ethics webinar, it will highlight not only basic ethical frameworks but also specific rules governing CPA practice and responsibilities. It concludes with a section on how a CPA can put his or her ethics into action.

KM

Karen Massey, CPA (US)

Ms. McLeod did something that no other instructor in my 30 years of ethics training has ever done. She made ethics training fun AND interesting! I learned new things due, to the deep dive into the very relevant case studies, that I had never learned or even heard of. This was a very relevant topic that is much needed in today's business world. Fantastic!

JB

Joyce Bailey, CPA (US)

This was a great presentation. As I am new to Texas and working on reciprocity, this was refreshing as ethics does get roots from your experiences. I like very real examples to drive home these facts and having foundational based values will aid in making a bad judgement. Not dry or boring at all.
