This engaging and practical Virginia Board of Accountancy (VBOA)-approved ethics course explores the evolving ethical landscape for CPAs through the lens of risk management. Participants will examine core principles of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct alongside real-world scenarios that challenge professional judgment, independence and integrity.
Moving beyond rule-based compliance, this course introduces the concept of “active ethics,” a proactive approach to ethical decision-making grounded in professional responsibility, moral judgment and public trust. Through case studies involving audits, tax engagements, client relationships and emerging practice risks, attendees will gain tools to navigate complex ethical dilemmas with confidence.
The course also highlights current regulatory developments, including updates to tax standards and Treasury Circular 230, and addresses common risk areas such as conflicts of interest, independence threats, confidentiality and client pressures.
Designed for CPAs in public practice and industry, this course blends technical guidance with practical insights to help professionals protect themselves, their firms and the public they serve.
