Objectives
  • To educate licensees in ethics of professional accounting as Texas CPAs
  • To convey the intent of the Rules of Professional Conduct in the performance of professional accounting services/work, not to simply adhere to the mere technical compliance of such rules.
  • To assist the Texas CPA in applying ethical judgment in interpreting the rules and determining public interest. Public interest should be placed ahead of self-interest, even if it means a loss of job or client.
  • To review and discuss the Rules of Professional Conduct and their implications for persons in a variety of practices, including:
    - CPAs in client practice of public accountancy who perform attest and non-attest services per § 501.52
    - CPAs employed in industry who provide internal accounting and auditing services.
    - CPAs employed in education or in government accounting or auditing.
