Course Description

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 the tax laws. In balancing the two interests, a CPA may find him or herself in an ethical dilemma.

Speaker and author, Allison M. McLeod, LL.M., CPA, will educate and inform CPAs not just on what is the right thing to do according to the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct but how to put your values into action! As part of this course, we will also look at various schools of ethical thought and walk through real world examples of individuals and companies faced with moral dilemmas.

Learning Objectives

  • Be able to define integrity and objectivity as promulgated by the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct and understand its importance to the CPA.

  • Have the ability to identify situations where the CPA may be susceptible to subordinating his/her judgment to a client or employer.

  • Have the ability to define independence as promulgated by the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct and understand its importance to the CPA.

  • Be able to ascertain situations which could threaten a CPA’s independence.

  • Understand how conflicts of interest and the use of contingency fees can subvert independence.
