Exam 4: Ethical Decision Making
List and briefly describe the four ethical principals of the CPA code of ethics. Please provide an example of each.
The four ethical principles of the CPA code of ethics are:
1. Integrity: This principle requires CPAs to be honest and candid within the constraints of client confidentiality. An example of this principle in action would be a CPA refusing to sign off on financial statements that they know contain misleading information.
2. Objectivity: CPAs are required to maintain objectivity and be free of conflicts of interest in performing professional services. An example of this principle in action would be a CPA declining to provide services to a family member in order to avoid any potential conflicts of interest.
3. Professional competence and due care: CPAs are expected to maintain professional knowledge and skill at a level required to ensure that clients receive competent professional services. An example of this principle in action would be a CPA staying up-to-date with changes in accounting standards and regulations to ensure they are providing accurate and reliable financial advice to their clients.
4. Confidentiality: CPAs are required to protect the confidentiality of information obtained as a result of professional and business relationships and should not disclose any such information without proper and specific authority. An example of this principle in action would be a CPA refusing to disclose sensitive financial information about a client to a third party without the client's consent.
