This webinar is a thought-provoking discussion of ethical issues, from the CPA Code of Professional Conduct and elsewhere, in accounting, tax and business. The course is a plea for ethical behaviour above and beyond the rules and contracts. It reminds you to pause and think beyond your initial reaction….there may be more to the situation. The presenter shares personal experiences with ethically challenging situations and their resolution. This session was created and is presented by a veteran CFO who has created courses that nearly 17,000 accountants have signed up for and are known for practicality, examples, and humour. AGENDA • The rules/contract allow this - but is it right? • False and misleading information issues • Approaches to diffusing difficult situations • Colleagues’ actions association • The wearing down of ethical standards – this must be guarded against • Ethics problems between departments in the same organization • Major Canadian CPA ethical lapses that are not well known • The unreported revenue dilemma • Will the auditors back you? • Ethics and PD hours • Sanctions – should private companies punish players from certain countries? • When all is said and done, all you have is your integrity • All kinds of specific examples and stories It provides 2 hours of verifiable ethics content for Canadian CPAs. Past attendees have said: • Probably couldn't find ethics presented in such a meaningful, and fun, manner • Overall I enjoyed the course. Ethics isn't always the most interesting subject but the delivery and content were engaging and thought-provoking • Excellent, no-nonsense tough truths • Lots of practical examples - cases were thought-provoking • Good use of humour through the presentation. Pace was good. • I appreciated the ethics problems that we discussed were applied directly to the CPA Code of Conduct • I would recommend this course as relevant for CPA’s and also other business professionals. It was an interesting and dare I say FUN course on ethics! • I liked that there were many case examples and real-world examples • This fast-paced ethics course will take you through many real world examples. • Ethical behaviour and standing up for your ethics needs to be a way of life and not about the number of CPE hours achieved
