Please note that this is a "text-based", not a "video-based" course. The materials are downloaded by the user, read and absorbed, and then the user takes the review and final assessment online at Illumeo as usual, where, once passed, all CPE is tracked and kept for long-term reference. This 4 hour course provides an in-depth overview of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Code of Professional Conduct. The Code of Professional Conduct is a set of principles, rules and interpretations that guides CPAs in the performance of their professional responsibilities. The course includes a discussion of those principles applicable to all members, but also addresses those requirements for members in business, members in public practice, and members in neither business nor public practice. A full copy of the most recent AICPA Code of Professional Conduct is available on the AICPA website and can be accessed here.
