CPAs in public practice must maintain a keen awareness of independence in their actions as well as their public appearance. This session guides practitioners through the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct to aid in this effort. A detailed discussion of non-attest services is covered including comparisons between standards pronounced by the AICPA and the SEC.

Learning Objectives
  • Identify the correct sequence of steps contained in the AICPA Conceptual Framework for Independence.
  • Explore and recall typical non attest services CPAs provide and instances in which independence is impaired according to standards pronounced by the AICPA.
  • Discover and recall the difference in independence standards between the AICPA versus those pronounced by the SEC.
