Surgent's New York Ethics for CPAs (4 hours)

Overview

Professional conduct and ethical behavior are really the backbone of the entire accounting and auditing profession. These components form the foundation upon which our creditability with the general public is built, without which, there is no profession. Whether you are a practitioner in public accounting or business and industry, you must always act in accordance with the requirements that define professional conduct and ethical behavior. The course is approved by the New York State Board for Public Accountancy (Board) and meets the requirement that New York licensed CPAs must complete a 4-hour course approved by the Board in ethics applicable to the practice of public accountancy, including a review of the provisions of New York State Education Law, Rules of the Board of Regents, and Regulations of the Commissioner of Education. The primary objectives of the course are to educate CPAs regarding ethics and ethical behavior; review, emphasize, and convey the intent of ethical standards and responsibilities relating to a CPA’s performance of professional accounting services; and help CPAs apply ethical judgment in the context of the public interest.
