- Understand the Code’s independence, conflict of interest, record retention, financial interest, and other practice standards;
- Gain an understanding of non-attest service standards applicable to tax preparation, internal audit outsourcing, bookkeeping, expert witness, and litigation support services;
- Learn the implications for failing to file personal and business tax returns or remit payroll and other taxes collected on behalf of others

New CPA ethics requirement:
The California Board of Accountancy requires all CPAs renewing on active status to obtain at least four hours of general ethics every two years. This seminar has been designed to fulfill this general ethics requirement.
Note: In addition to the four hours of general ethics, CPAs must also complete a two-hour regulatory review course once every six years.
Although this course emphasizes ethics for CPAs, it also meets the two-hour ethics requirement for CTECs and EAs.
