2 lessonsThe course starts with the AICPA Code’s structure and the threats-and-safeguards framework that CPAs use to judge ethics problems in real practice. It then builds through conflicts, independence, due care, confidential information, fees, commissions, discreditable acts, advertising, and state board rule differences, so you can work through applied ethics judgments with current Code sections and documented conclusions.
The course covers the AICPA Code’s conceptual framework, the seven threat categories, integrity and objectivity issues, independence for attest clients, due care and general standards, confidential client information, contingent fees, commissions and referral fees, acts discreditable, advertising, firm names, and differences between AICPA and state board ethics and CPE rules.
