A thorough, easy-to-follow, widely encompassing course on professional ethics for accountants. I liked the Fraud Triangle Model, The Need Driver for fraud and how top management can rationalize fraud. Including the legal framework was a great bonus! Thanks Tom!

Professional Ethics for Accountants course is an essential course offering invaluable insights into ethical considerations within the financial realm. With comprehensive modules, it equips aspiring accountants with the ethical framework necessary for navigating complex financial landscapes. Practical case studies and discussions ensure a deep understanding of ethical dilemmas, fostering integrity and trustworthiness in financial practice. Highly recommended.

A little bit long and run on in some area, but overall a good course. I think some clarification on Arthur Anderson would be ideal. They did have bad partners in multiple engagements, but to categorize the entire firm, in light of the comments towards other business stating "I'm not attacking this company," was not the most efficient use of the training time. I think that clarity would make that area more impartial and less of an attack on that firm.

This is a good course to remind employees of company ethics, policies and procedures. It is also a reminder that anyone, including upper management, can be involved in shady practices; therefore, make sure to question anything that looks suspicious or doesn't make sense to you, especially if you book entries for the company.

An important course given the nature of greed and corruption which takes place in a select few organizations. Most recently, the FTX fraud could have been avoided if some simple but firm steps were taken by employees and stakeholders.
