About This Course

As Chartered Professional Accountants (CPAs), we have a responsibility to abide by our profession's Code of Professional Conduct. This short course offers an opportunity to explore ethical dilemmas by considering the Code of Conduct and how it applies to the three different case scenarios. In addition to the main focus of the case scenarios, related concepts relevant to the consideration of ethical dilemmas are also discussed.
