The COVID-19 Pandemic revealed the trust deficit that exist. In this session I discuss the evolving nature of our professional ethical responsibilities as leaders.
The course explores ethical principles and the continued relevance to us as leaders in an environment where citizens distrust in government and institutions is evident. I examine the elements of truthfulness, in an era of alternative facts, transparency, and accountability in an environment where the public is demanding more and conflict of interest where one moral compass may shift according to prevailing circumstances.
Intended Audience: Professional Accountants, Students, Leaders.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
