Ethics are of central importance to the CPA profession. But what do we mean by ethics? Is it just appropriate behavior, compliance with laws, or is it more than that? In this course, we'll discover what sets ethics apart and, therefore, sets the profession apart as well. We'll explore the tools available, the role of bias, and dive into real life case studies. We'll apply the AICPA's ethical framework and detect where bias was involved in the case studies. We'll even discover that one person set the price tag on their ethics at $53.7 million, only to lose it all in the end.

Ethics: IRS Criminal Investigations: Key Lessons for Accountants

Wednesday, Aug. 6
 12:00pm - 2:00pm

Online

2.00 Credits

Member Price: $89

See more dates

This course provides a concise overview of recent IRS criminal investigations and what practitioners can learn from these cases to help fight economic crime and even avoid personal criminal prosecution. While accountants are numbers people by training (not detectives per se with the exception of forensic accountants), practitioners are increasingly being called upon by governments and economic organizations at all levels to step up and help law enforcement battle financial impropriety. The stakes are huge. In the United States alone, the OECD estimates that 5% to 10% of the annual budget of the US health care programs, Medicare and Medicaid, is wasted as a result of corruption. Every dollar lost to monetary malfeasance has a crippling effect that ripples through countries, industries, companies, communities and individual lives. Government resources are wasted, public services are compromised, companies are financially destabilized, shareholders are cheated, employers are swindled, charities are undermined and much more. By increasing their awareness of what and how the IRS investigates and prosecutes, accountants can heighten their "spidey sense" of what doesn't look right in financial records. This includes honing skills to more readily notice -- and report -- ledger anomalies and irregularities, and even rethink a "silence is always safer" mindset. As technology disrupts and automates many fundamental accounting functions, practitioners can add value by more diligently scanning for "creative accounting" red flags on the frontlines. Prioritizing transparency and behaving ethically -- the core of the profession -- not only helps society and the economy as a whole, it can help accountants boost their reputation as highly trusted business advisors and even supercharge their bottom line.

Ethics Based Leadership for Women

Glantz and Associates is pleased to offer "Ethics Based Leadership for Women," a webinar designed to empower any woman who wishes to consider the privileges, responsibilities and challenges of holding leadership positions. We believe that leadership and ethics are intrinsically connected and will explore women in leadership through an ethics-based lens. The reality is, despite women representing approximately half of our world's population, they are significantly underrepresented in the workforce and most notably in leadership positions. In fact, not only do women have to cross more hurdles to advance into leadership positions, but when they do, they are burning out at a much faster rate than their male counterparts. In this course, we will discuss both the external societal barriers as well as the internal barriers that sabotage women from moving into leadership positions. We will examine common believes ("I should be nice," "I am an imposter", etc.) as well as behaviors that can hold women back and then offer suggestions for moving forward. We will provide tools to enhance one's self-awareness, create openings for self-reflection as well as provide opportunities to take on new perspectives. This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.
