The Cpa’s Guide to Professional Ethics: Dan M. Guy, D. R. Carmichael, Linda A. Lach
New guidance is constantly being provided to accountants by the Professional Ethics Executive Committee and the Independence Standards Board. CPAs and other financial professionals need a clear and up-to-date understanding of the complex AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, the definitive ethical guidelines of the profession. This work provides insights into this stringent code, including the information on the Independence Standards Board. With the use of diagrams, flowcharts, and other tools, the authors explain and interpret the code and illustrate how each state’s ethics requirements vary from those of the AICPA.
From the Publisher
“There is no comparable book on the subject of ethics in print. Every CPA should have a personal copy, and every firm should have a copy in its library. Personal experience leads me to believe that most ethics violations are not intentional, but rather result from a lack of knowledge of the ethics rules and regulations. The authors’ advice and guidance is worth the price of the book. If you have just one ethics issue, the book will pay for itself. If you have never had to address an ethics issue and believe you never will, you definitely need this book, because you probably would not recognize an ethics issue if it stared you right in the face.” –Vincent J.
