A CPA is challenged in today’s work world to not only serve his/her client or employer but also to protect the public interest by ensuring that there is transparency in financial reporting or there is fair administration of the tax laws. In balancing the two interests, a CPA may find him or herself in an ethical dilemma. This course covers not only basic ethical frameworks, but also specific TSBPA rules governing CPA practice and responsibilities. It concludes with a section on how a CPA can put his or her ethics into action.

Please consult the Texas State Board of Accountancy for specific requirements (see our Support page).
