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.
