The AICPA independence rule broadly states that a CPA must be independent of a client in both fact and appearance during the course of a professional attest engagement. Both actual and apparent conflicts of interest must be avoided so that there is no question that an objective examination of the financial statements has been performed and that they may be relied upon. Independence is required for Audit engagements and Review engagements

This was a good course to do at your own pace. I liked that there were no trick questions. Material was straightforward, although bullet points might have been used more often on occasion as the content is lengthy. It was very well cross referenced and has a nice glossary. Would be a good reference for someone in public practice.

This is a great review of Oregon ethics. I like the text format as it allowed me to focus on the items that I was most interested in and skim the areas where I had muscle memory.

This is a great overview of ethics that are required for the Oregon CPA license. It does provide some guidance on people who do not work in a CPA firm.

Examples could have been more numerous and more in-depth. Just quoting the regulations and statutes doesn't teach much.
