The course consists of four parts. In the first section you will analyze the importance of independence and why you must be independent both in fact and in appearance. The second section covers integrity and objectivity. You’ll review the principles of integrity and objectivity to develop a solid working knowledge of these fundamental principles of ethics.

One of the hottest ethics topics this year is non-attest services, Independence Rule 101-3 and its interpretations. In the third section of the course, you’ll discover what you need to know about which services you can provide your individual and business clients–whether in tax, consulting, or bookkeeping.
The fourth part of the course explains the role of the State Board of CPAs of Louisiana and what you need to know about continuing education requirements, key definitions in the rules, independence, integrity and objectivity, competence and professional standards, responsibilities to clients, and other responsibilities and practices. The information is presented through a real-world case study.

Highlights:
• Overview of AICPA standards on independence; integrity, objectivity, non-attest services
• Louisiana statutes governing continuing education requirements, key definitions, independence, integrity and objectivity, competence and professional standards, responsibilities to clients, and other responsibilities and practices
