Ethics: professionals in practice

Navigate ethical dilemmas using an ethical decision-making framework

Overview

As a professional accountant, you have a responsibility to uphold the profession's Code of Ethics. The Code was established by globally recognised standard-setting bodies and aligns with international standards.

The Code provides requirements and guidance to professional accountants with respect to their practice. In this course, you will explore business ethics and the challenges of working ethically in an ambiguous business environment. This course will remind you of your obligations under the Code and you will explore how to apply the Code’s conceptual framework through a business lens.

The Code was updated in 2021 and 2022; if it’s been some time since you’ve reviewed the Code, this course will refresh your knowledge and will bring you up to date with your obligations under the Code.
