Description

For decades the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct contained six principles and eleven rules. The rules, in turn, were supported by dozens of interpretations and ethics rulings. Now, under the "conceptual framework" approach, the new version of the Code adds another layer of authoritative pronouncements by pointing to seven categories of "threats" that could lead to a violation of one or more rules: adverse interest, advocacy, familiarity, management participation, self-interest, self-review, and undue influence. This webcast draws from real life examples to help explain the conceptual framework and to show how it can be reasonably understood, applied and implemented.

"I have attended many of Professor Spalding's sessions. He does a great job conveying complex info in an understandable way. From a technology standpoint, the volume for re-play of the session itself was very low compared to the other instructions. The course info needs to be equally as loud."
