Ethical dilemmas are not rare events in the life of a CPA—they are a regular feature of work life. What is rare is feeling prepared to navigate them with confidence, clarity, and care for the people involved. This course equips CPAs with a practical, people-centred skillset for doing exactly that.

Grounded in the IESBA's five fundamental principles of professional ethics and guided by a "coach approach," this course explores four situations every CPA is likely to encounter: someone brings you an ethical dilemma and needs help thinking it through; you need to point out that something appears unethical; you and another person are in conflict over the right ethical course of action; or you are the one facing the dilemma yourself.

A coach approach is not about avoiding giving advice or dodging difficult conversations. It is a mindset shift—from expert to thinking partner, from fixing to enabling—that helps the people around you develop the clarity, ownership, and courage to act ethically.

This course is designed for CPAs working in any sector who lead, advise, or influence others and, most of all, want to always act ethically.
