Ethics CPE Training: Put Your Staff in the Know Without Leaving the Office
Today’s CPA practice is laden with ethical challenges and pitfalls. Even the most well intended individuals and firms can make a mistake or the wrong decision. That’s why ethics continuing education is so important.
Ethics CPE provides the guidance that is needed to help people work their way through professional conduct issues and comply with applicable standards. For CPA firms, some ethics matters may have relevance beyond individual practitioners and impact the entire organization.
A consistent, firm-wide approach to ethics matters is vital and a key concern. One staff professional may know everything needed to be compliant with ethics requirements while another lacks the knowledge, thus making the wrong decision and unnecessarily exposing the firm to litigation or ethics complaints. There is a solution for your firm, and the Foundation for Accounting Education has it for you.
FAE’s Ethics Update 2004, our keystone four-hour ethics seminar, can be brought directly to your firm so your management and staff learn together and collectively discuss issues that affect the firm. Tell us your preferred date and location and we’re there for you with a seasoned instructor and informative course materials. This is the only seminar course in New York state that satisfies the Department of Education’s triennial requirement for four hours of general professional ethics training for public-practice CPAs.
Consider these advantages of bringing this program to your firm:
-
Ensure that all of your professional staff members satisfy the mandatory ethics requirements
-
Get answers to the questions that deal with matters that are of particular interest to your firm
-
Lose less office time and billable hours
-
Eliminate travel
-
Learn without the competition sitting next to you
-
Enjoy savings over other vendors’ seminars.
This can be one of the best CPE decision your firm makes. Join the ranks of the many firms who have already brought FAE CPE in-house. Contact Monte Kaplan, senior manager, in-firm education, at 212-719 8431 or mkaplan@nysscpa.org.
