Description

As a general rule, it is illegal to discriminate against someone (applicant or employee) because of that person's race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. The AICPA Code of Professional Conduct treats a violation of any such antidiscrimination law as an "act discreditable."  This workshop considers recent cases involving these laws in light of accountants' professional ethics requirements.
