Navigating Ethical and Legal Implications in the Age of AI.
A case study approach to understanding privacy considerations for CPAs. Data privacy is a crucial area of professional ethics and legal compliance that CPAs have clear responsibilities for. CPAs are both providers and receivers of “personal information,” and understanding our responsibilities ethically and legally is paramount, especially as our use of artificial intelligence increases. This on-demand course will use case studies to explore what CPAs need to understand and make actionable around privacy.
Participants will gain an understanding of the ethical and legal implications of handling personal data, particularly in the context of emerging technologies. The session will also provide practical insights into how to navigate privacy issues and help toward compliance with current regulations. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with actionable strategies to protect privacy, enhance trust with clients, and uphold the integrity of the accounting profession.

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.
