 Seminar: Ethical Dilemma & Professional Accountants    
( CPE Seminars )

Professional accountants inevitably would be faced with circumstances that threaten their compliance with ethical principles. For example, a professional accountant in business may face pressure to:
· Act contrary to law or regulation.
· Act contrary to technical or professional standards.
· Facilitate unethical or illegal earnings management strategies.

This seminar aims to provide professional accountants with an understanding of a conceptual framework that is based on IFAC Code of Ethics and the application of this conceptual framework:
·To identify threats to compliance with the fundamental principles,
·To evaluate their significance and,
·If such threats are other than clearly insignificant - to apply safeguards to eliminate them or reduce them to an acceptable level such that compliance with the ethical principles is not compromised.

Seminar Outline:
Fundamental Principles:
The fundamental principles of professional ethics for professional accountants:
· Confidentiality
· Integrity
· Objectivity
· Professional due and competence
· Professional behaviour

Threats to Compliance with Fundamental Principles
The conceptual framework provides guidance on fundamental ethical principles. Professional accountants are required to apply this conceptual framework to identify threats to compliance with the fundamental principles, to evaluate their significance and, if such threats are other than clearly insignificant - to apply safeguards to eliminate them or reduce them to an acceptable level such that compliance with the fundamental principles is not compromised.

Many threats fall into the following categories:
(a) Self-interest;
(b) Self-review;
(c) Advocacy;
(d) Familiarity; and
(e) Intimidation.

Case Scenarios:
· Potential Conflicts
· Preparation and Reporting of Information
· Acting with Sufficient Expertise
· Financial Interests
· Inducements

Intended Participants:
Professional accountants in industry and commerce
