The major topics that will be covered in this course include:
- Explore cases of practitioners that succumbed to pressure and lost their livelihoods - from helping clients avoid restating earnings to backdating changes to audit work papers.
- Discuss the pressures that cause CPAs to cross the line and how to make sure you do not succumb to the pressure. What are the ethical principles that CPAs are required to follow? Is there a way out?
- Consider other cases of CPAs that became fraudsters. Who is responsible for fraud prevention? How can you keep your clients safe from them?
