Ethics for CPAs: Independence, Conflicts, and the AICPA Code
· · 100 min
About this webinar
Ethics is the one requirement every CPA shares — and the one most likely to be left to the last minute. This session makes it useful, not just a checkbox.
We'll walk through the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct in plain language: the conceptual framework, independence and objectivity, conflicts of interest, confidentiality, and how to reason through the gray-area situations practitioners actually face.
Real-world scenarios and discussion keep it practical and grounded.
What you'll learn
- Apply the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct's conceptual framework to real situations.
- Evaluate threats to independence and objectivity and identify appropriate safeguards.
- Recognize and resolve conflicts of interest and confidentiality issues.
- Analyze common ethical dilemmas and document a defensible course of action.
