Course Description

In the intricate world of accounting ethics, CPAs often encounter scenarios that challenge their professional integrity and understanding of ethical standards, particularly in New Hampshire where specific state regulations apply.

It starts with a problem: the complexity of navigating the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct and New Hampshire’s specific accountancy rules. The course agitates this by highlighting potential pitfalls such as harassment, discreditable acts, and conflicts of interest that CPAs might inadvertently encounter. The solution lies in the comprehensive coverage this CPE course offers. It equips participants with the knowledge to describe various principles of the AICPA Code, handle confidential information responsibly, and understand the intricacies of false or misleading promotional efforts. The course also delves into New Hampshire-specific rules, including the substantial equivalency rule, CPA certificate renewal requirements, and situations triggering disciplinary proceedings. By the end of this self-study CPE course, you’ll be adept at maintaining the highest degree of integrity in your professional conduct, aligned with both the AICPA standards and New Hampshire’s regulations.
