Description:
Join your colleagues for this highly educational and interactive ethics seminar. This practical seminar has been updated with the latest ethics guidance and rules and fulfills Maryland's, recently mandated ethics requirement. Utilizing a combination of hypotheticals, informative exercises and examples, you will have the opportunity to review the elements and implications of recent changes to CPA ethical standards, and join others in enhancing the vital leadership role CPAs play in the business community today. The CPE credits satisfied by this seminar are required by the Maryland Board of Accountancy every two years. CPAs residing and working in the state of Maryland also licensed in Virginia please note: It is a policy of the Virginia Board of Accountancy to accept the CPE requirements met by a CPA in their home state (where they live and work) as long as it is comparable to the requirement for 120 hours over 3 years.
