Technology has transformed the accounting profession. We are no longer bound by cubicles, office walls or state lines. Modern accounting practices avail themselves to talent without physical limitations. However, we as a professional must be ever mindful of regulatory standards and the safeguarding of confidential client information given this new environment.

In this session, we begin with a discussion of accounting ethics and recent trends. We’ll then move into a larger discussion of ethical considerations for remote employees including:

  1. Federal and State regulatory standards for confidential information.
  2. Risk mitigation tips in the event of a data breach, and
  3. Best practices for employees when working at a remote location.
Learning Objectives
  • Explore which branch of ethics is closely aligned with regulatory guidance in organizations.
  • Identify prevailing global trends in business ethics.
  • Discover which regulatory standards apply to tax practitioners concerning confidential client records.
  • Identify which states have adopted privacy laws for business entities.
  • Recognize best practices in connection with remote workers.

This course focuses a lot on tax practitioners and general security best practices. Only a small portion of the course focuses on remote workers. It is a fine overview of those topics.

Adequate coverage of an important topic. By title I thought this was going to be a little different but still useful.

Bit if a basic intro to the subject - high level overview and some substance but other courses provide better detail
