Course Description
Whether you are just beginning your career or have been a practitioner for many (many) years, as a Certified Public Accountant you assume an obligation to adhere to the fundamental principles of integrity & objectivity in all of your professional activities.These principles are the accounting profession's recognition of its responsibilities to the public, to clients, and to colleagues.
They help guide CPAs in the performance of their professional responsibilities and form the foundation of ethical decision-making and actions. Those who rely on CPAs rightfully expect them to discharge their professional responsibilities with integrity & objectivity .
