About this Event

Ethics Class

Course Description: 

Although it’s easy to look at the headlines and wonder, “Why do good people do bad things?”, a more important question we should all be asking ourselves is if we faced similar circumstances, would we have made the same choices as the people in the headlines? 

This course provides a look into ethical philosophies we all hold that guide our personal and professional lives and discusses the values upon which our choices are based. Ethical behavior is more than knowing what’s right and what’s wrong. It’s making the right choices for our profession and the organizations and customers we serve. The public looks to us as to maintain a standard of ethics and integrity and the Texas State Board holds us accountable for protecting the CPA brand, but are we meeting these obligations? 

CPE: 4.0 hours. This course is designed to meet the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy’s (TSBPA) Ethics Course Requirement for Licensees for four hours of continuing education. It also satisfies the annual ethics requirement for the Association 

Course Objectives: 

In this interactive and thought-provoking session participants will have the opportunity to: 

  • Explore the foundations and philosophies of ethics
  • Understand the Texas State Board’s Rules of Professional Conduct and the core values of our profession
  • Practice applying ethical judgment in making choices appropriate for the profession and the public
  • Identify the components and red flags of fraud
  • Determine improvement opportunities for protecting the brand
