Contemporary Accounting Ethics and Related Legal Issues
Today's business environment calls for an increased awareness of professional ethics and responsibility. In no discipline is this requirement more crucial and timely than accounting. The Texas State Board of Public Accountancy requires all accountants licensed in Texas to participate in a Board-approved four-hour continuing professional education course in ethics every two years.
Contemporary Accounting Ethics and Related Legal Issues fulfills this continuing professional education requirement with an interactive case study approach that offers both ethical and legal perspectives on current and historical cases. Discussions of the competing theories of classical ethicists, the core values of the profession, and the rules promulgated by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy will lead participants to a better understanding of the ethical hurdles faced by accounting professionals and provide tools for managing them. The small class size and interactive format will also allow you to network with fellow accountants.
