Frank did a good job with Ethics: The Regulatory Environment. He really drives home the concept ethics, which reminds me of this story. A mathematician, a statistician and an accountant apply for the same job. The interviewer calls in the mathematician and asks "What does two plus two equal?" The mathematician replies "Four." The interviewer asks "Four, exactly?" The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and says "Yes, four, exactly." Then the interviewer calls in the statistician and asks the same question "What does two plus two equal?" The statistician says "On average, four - give or take ten percent, but on average, four." Then the interviewer calls in the accountant and poses the same question "What does two plus two equal?" The accountant gets up, locks the door, closes the shade, sits down next to the interviewer and says "What do you want it to equal?"

This was an excellent course on ethics from a different perspective than many others. I was tied to the regulation in the industry and covered the role of many of the regulatory bodies overseeing ethics in accounting. Much of it involved ethics for CPAs, but I felt it was also valuable for other accounting professionals.l

This course provided a strong overview of ethical matters as they pertain to CPAs. It was beneficial too to hear about updates to the CPA exam. Even though I passed it long ago, it's good to get an understanding of where the profession is heading and how I can form my professional development to stay "in the club".

I was not certain I would gain a lot from this material, but I was pleasantly surprised. I benefited from the topic of Social Governance, but mostly Global Trends in Business Ethics. That was the most beneficial of the topics in today's post-COVID environment.

I am surprised by how much I could learn in a self paced professional development course for my professional development. I'm goingt to be taking more of these courses in the future.
