Accounting - Accounting&Professional Ethics

Catalog description

It may be easy to determine the most ethical choice in a professional setting. However, standing up for our values and "taking action" is often the hardest part. Knowing what to say and how to say it can give us courage to stand up for those values. As with any skill, practice builds muscle-memory. Therefore, this course will focus on identifying values and the factors that encourage ethical decision-making within the accounting profession, determining how to communicate those values, and most importantly, practicing the communication of those values. This course will explore the ethical principles and rules contained within the AICPA's Code of Professional Conduct and other ethical rules specific to the accounting profession. Prerequisite: Admission to the MAcc program. Enrollment restricted.
