professional development/continuing education – ethics for accountants

  • Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
  • In this four-hour workshop, you will strengthen your ethical self-confidence, awareness, and autonomy by better understanding the underlying values of the Chartered Professional Accountants’ Code of Professional Conduct, to which all CPAs must adhere.

    Accounting is marked by a commitment to five core values: professional behaviour, integrity and due care, objectivity, professional competence, and confidentiality.  In this engaging and interactive workshop, Sinclair MacRae will examine these values and consider how living up to them enables us to fulfil our duties to our clients in the context of our fiduciary relations while maintaining our vital function as independent professionals.

    We will also examine and justify a useful framework for thinking about accounting ethics and a clear, repeatable process for making ethical decisions.

    Note: This workshop satisfies the CPA’s CPE triennial four-hour ethics requirement.
