Professional Ethics for Accountants (On Demand)

Description

In challenging economic times, accountants in businesses may come under pressure to do the incorrect things. Keeping up with technical updates and developments is another challenge many accountants face.

On 14 August 2020, ISCA issued a revised Ethics Pronouncement 100 to adopt the Final Pronouncements relating to the Restructured Code and Revisions to the Code Pertaining to the Offering and Accepting of Inducements issued by IESBA.

During this webinar, the following questions will be addressed:

• When is the revised EP100 effective?
• What is the enhanced Conceptual Framework?
• What is NOCLAR, and how should you respond?
• What are inducements, and should you accept them?

This workshop qualifies for 2.5 CPE hours in Ethics and Professionalism (Category 2).
