CPAs continuously strive to serve their clients, the public and their profession with fair-mindedness and integrity. A solid understanding of professional ethical standards lies at the heart of this approach. In this 2-hour regulatory ethics course, we’ll cover many of these elements, including:
- Ethical principles and values in the business world.
- Which professional and regulatory agencies CPAs should be mindful of.
- Ethics and Independence Standards contained in the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct.
- Social Media and the impact this has on CPA independence and ethics.
Michigan CPA's
Michigan CPAs are required to complete 4 CPE hours related to ethics during each renewal cycle (minimum of 2 hours per year), 1 hour of which must relate to Michigan Statutes and Administrative Rules applicable to Public Accountancy. A statewide professional association of certified public accountants approved by the department shall create the content for this 1-hour of professional ethics education. Our course, CPA Ethics – Michigan, will satisfy the 2-hour ethics requirement, but does not satisfy this new 1-hour requirement. This 1-hour Michigan Statutes course can only be completed directly with the state society (statewide professional association).
