Description:
In today's complicated world, CPAs carry an increasing burden of public trust. As in the past, they are expected to give sound, ethical advice on accounting matters. Yet, what used to be an end is now just a beginning. The press, the government, business leaders and others look to CPAs to bring judgment, honesty, clarity and transparency to many murky issues. This course goes beyond just "the rules" to discuss broader and deeper issues affecting the profession and your role in it.
Objectives:
- Help participants grapple with difficult ethical dilemmas CPAs face in the private and public sectors
- What is the function of ethics in society today - and why is it so critical?
- Why isn't just "following the rules" enough?
- What does it mean to be a leader and a CPA?
- How high should the ethical "bar" be set? Is it "Caesar's Wife" (beyond suspicion)?
Major Topics:
- Interactive format that drives home the difficulty of reaching ethical decisions
- Challenging and thought-provoking case-based discussion
- Designed to expand participants' thinking beyond traditional CPA roles
Who Should Attend:
Anyone who might wrestle with ethical issues, especially anyone in a leadership role
Prerequisite:
None
