Ethical Failures at Boeing: Lessons for Corporate Governance and CPAs
Boeing, a global aerospace giant, has been embroiled in ethical controversies over recent years, particularly surrounding the development of the 737 MAX aircraft. The company faced allegations of prioritizing profits over safety, leading to catastrophic crashes.
This course will explore Boeing's lack of ethical decision-making and critical thinking and the broader implications for corporate governance and compliance, especially relevant for CPAs.
This course critically examines the ethical challenges faced by Boeing in recent years, particularly its lack of ethical decision-making and critical thinking, and explores how these failures can serve as vital lessons for CPAs.
Through the lens of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) Five Pillars of Ethics, participants will gain insights into how Boeing's decisions have impacted corporate governance, accountability, and financial transparency.
CPAs play a crucial role in upholding ethical standards within organizations, and this course will equip them with the tools to navigate complex ethical dilemmas, avoid conflicts of interest, and promote integrity in the workplace.

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.
