An opportunity to explore the CPA Code of Professional Conduct, primarily through the use of small case scenarios which allow you to apply the CPA Code of Professional Conduct.

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.
it is a good ethic course
This course was an excellent reminder of professional responsibility and ethical standards. The modular format made it easy to concentrate and process the material without feeling overwhelmed.
I found this to be a very thought provoking course. It invites a great deal of reflection and is very impactful.
The scenarios and the breaking down of sections into shorter chunks made it easier to digest the course content.
