What does “Ethics” mean to CPAs?

As an accounting professional, the most valuable qualification of a CPA is acting in a professional manner to maintain the trust of clients, stakeholders, and the public. CPAs follow the Code of Professional Conduct that guides members, firms, students and applicants in respect of sound and fair financial management reporting and business practices.

Effective as of January 1, 2019, CPA members must complete four verifiable hours of professional ethics in the first rolling triennial period (2019-2021) and each triennial period thereafter.

On Friday, July 3rd, CCPAA-ON is hosting a webinar to go through the fundamental principles of ethics, help the professional accountants to understand the rules and regulations governing the profession, and discuss the practical application of the rules in daily operations of their businesses:

• Significant ethical responsibilities
• Challenges in day-to-day activities
• Ethics for auditors
• Ethics for tax practitioners
