Ethics for Ohio - Thumbnail.jpg

Course Description
This course meets the three-hour ethics requirement of the Accountancy Board of Ohio (the “Board”). In this course, we explore ethical principles and values, noting how contextual factors and other issues may cause a person to adopt skewed or incorrect ethical positions. The course then covers ethical reasoning and its application to common accounting dilemmas. Next, we review the Board’s Laws and Rules as they apply to all aspects of professional accounting. Case studies and examples are used throughout the course materials to illustrate various ethics concepts.
