This course is a provocative discussion of ethical issues in accounting, tax and business, centered around your gut, which is more important than you realize in this area. The presenter shares personal and other experiences with ethically challenging situations and their resolution, involving the gut. Past attendees have found it different than other courses, which don't usually discuss your gut in ethical decision-making.

Past feedback includes: I haven’t taken a lot of courses like this - paying attention to that gut feeling is so important and so often ignored. People need to pay more attention to that feeling. I enjoyed the course! I like the title, because my gut rarely has failed me. I think examples is the best way to talk through ethical situations.

Lots of good stories to make you think The course also highlighted other possible approaches to ethics issues when there is also a practical human side I liked the unrelated stories/jokes I also like that you gave people some tools for working through ethical issues Your stories are interesting, keeps the topic real instead of just theory
