The focus of this class is the application of AICPA Ethics Standards to the local practitioner who practices in the real world as well as those in industry! It covers the AICPA principles of professional conduct and selected additional topics such as the Statements on Standards for Tax Services and stories of violations of those principles. Ethics not from the perspective of why people do what they do, but what they do and what happens to them as a result of what they do and what we can learn from that. A fast moving, educational, real world look at ethics for CPAs.
