Three New Ethics Courses for Tax & Accounting Professionals Now Available

Ethics in action — what would you do?

• A colleague at your firm confirms a controversial tax loophole in a public LinkedIn comment. What would you do?

• A client is eager to proceed with a complex tax plan, but the involved parties seem to have differing levels of understanding, even though disclaimers are signed. What would you do?

• In mid-April, your IT department reports suspicious use of the T1 system, specifically, contractors appearing to be logged in twice simultaneously. It could be innocent, like switching between devices but the frequency has spiked. What would you do?

Learn about these scenarios and other ethical dilemmas in our three new 1-hour ethics courses designed to support Canadian tax and accounting professionals in navigating complex, real-world scenarios with integrity and confidence.
