Overview
The principle of the “public interest” is fundamental to the responsibilities of auditors and critical in the government environment. CPAs who work in and serve this public sector continuously seek to represent the CPA profession with fair-mindedness and integrity. A solid understanding of ethical standards lies at the heart of this approach. In this course, we’ll address ethical considerations for CPAs serving for and working with government entities. It will touch upon ethics rules and regulations that CPAs must adhere to when auditing government entities or serving as an employee of the federal government.
