Course Details

The need to comply with the requirements of the Code of Ethics for professional Accountants increases ever more. It is recognised that there are complexities in following the Code and these presentations are designed to:


• Raise awareness of ethics for professional accountants,

• Improve client service,

• Increase audit quality, and

• Assist in growing the firm.

Clearly these are desirable objectives for any successful professional services firm.

 

The public is increasingly aware of the Code and this:


• Resulted in a more concerning attitude of clients in general

• Heightened expectations for professional accountants to be independent and observant of the fundamental principles of the Code

• Created a competitive environment for professional services firms in their endeavour to attract client.

 

Ulrich Schäckermann covers the following topics during this courrse:


• Ethical considerations in dealing with conflicts of interest

• The effect of ethics on the planning of an audit

• Action to be taken in the event of the discovery of irregularities during the as audit.
