Through his entertaining presentations on ethical leadership and AI ethics, Forbes Contributor Bruce Weinstein, The Ethics Guy, shows CPAs, HR managers, and other professionals how everyone benefits from honest, accountable behavior. He is the CEO of both The Institute for High-Character Leadership, LLC and The Ethics Guy, LLC.  He writes about ethical leadership for Forbes.com, and his books include "Ethical Intelligence: 5 Principles for Untangling Your Toughest Problems at Work and Beyond," "The Good Ones: Ten Crucial Qualities of High-Character Employees," and for tweens and teens, "Is It Still Cheating If I Don't Get Caught?" Bruce's clients have included the international bank Societe Generale, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Ford Motor Company, Dublin-based construction company CRH, Northrop Grumman, the National Football League, the Western Australian Local Government Association, The Home Depot, and over 300 other companies around the world. Bruce received his B.A. in philosophy from Swarthmore College and an M.A. and Ph.D. in philosophy with a concentration in bioethics from Georgetown University and the Kennedy Institute of Ethics. The W. K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan awarded Bruce a National Fellowship in Leadership Development. He lives in New York City with his wife Kristen Bancroft, a compliance professional in the financial services industry. To relax Bruce enjoys playing music (guitar, harmonica, and drums), visiting national parks with his wife, and trying to figure out the plot of "The Godfather."

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

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.

    I enjoyed the course. It was light-hearted, to-the-point and made interesting by referencing cultural icons we can relate to in our everyday lives. What I would change is the suggestion at the beginning of the course to do the quiz first before watching the lesson. The questions asked are so specific to the course that it would not be obvious what the correct response might be. As a result, I chose to ignore the quiz until the end, but still, I would suggest removing the initial suggestion.
