How to manage the external and internal challenges to acting ethically.
All CPAs have learned the principles that guide us in behaving ethically. But when faced with the putting these principles into practice, we find ourselves challenged. And sometimes, yielding to the challenges and acting unethically.
This course outlines the principles for ethics for CPAs and describes the sources of external and internal challenges that can get in the way of applying these principles in real life. Through cases and examples, the course offers ideas for managing these challenges so that you can build behaviours, skills and confidence to challenge-proof yourself against acting unethically.
