Ethics Beyond Compliance

As a professional accountant you are bound by a Code of Ethics but are you aware that ethics can be at the heart of conflict? Learn how to identify an ethical issue and how best to resolve it.

Content

Whilst professional accountants are bound by a Code of Ethics, ethics pervade every aspect of a business, from supply chains to recruitment practices. Maintaining ethical standards in all aspects of your role can be challenging, because the working world is full of grey areas and lose-lose choices. Plus, our own individual ethics are influenced by our environment and personal beliefs, which means we may not always agree with our colleagues or clients. 

This webinar introduces the concept and meaning of ethics, explains why ethical issues often sit at the heart of conflict and shares practical advice for how best to resolve ethical dilemmas in the workplace. You’ll learn how to identify an ethical issue, understand why people end up acting ethically and consider the role culture plays in ethical practice.
