This course provides an overview of the independence related rules and interpretations included within the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Code of Professional Conduct. This Code prescribes a set of principles, rules, and interpretations that guide CPAs in performing their professional responsibilities. While this code is applicable to both members in business and members in practice, this course focuses on the independence aspects for those members in public practice. A copy of the most recent AICPA Code of Professional Conduct is available on the AICPA website.
