wonderful course that comes up with suprisingly realistic examples of situations that a CPA in business scan come across rather too frequently - it just goes to show that we do face ethical issues on a regular basis and it can come down to one individual to do the right thing

This was a good refresher course on ethics for CPAs in business. The real-life examples and discussion of the high profile cases help to make the theoretical framework of ethics more concrete. The material was presented in a very organized manner.

I really liked all the real life examples and case studies. That helped a lot to apply all of the rules and threats appropriately. Very good. The only feedback would be for the presenter to not just read all the slides. Otherwise very good.

There are a lot of detailed examples for ethical situations to provide a framework for making ethical decisions. A lot of the voice over is just reading from the slides, but they do provide a lot of information for the course.

This course was a good refresher on professional ethics. Although I wouldn't say there was necessarily any "new" information, the heavy emphasis on case studies kept me engaged throughout the course.

The video presentation is slightly dry, however, the materials and examples shared were relevant to this topic. Will be sufficient for basic understanding of ethics for the profession.

The course was very interesting. I thought most was common sense but the case studies and examples presented let you know that sometimes the ethical dilemmas persist.

The information is solid and a good reminder. Much of the presentation is reading from busy slides. I would suggest cleaner slides with more elaboration.

Good summary though it would likely benefit from simplified slides. Often felt like most of the presentation was being read directly off the slides.

The course is a holistic review of the ethics required for all CPAs. Great refresher for CPAs in business as well as all CPAs. Would take again.

The content was interesting. Practical examples really help. However I prefer when the presenter does not just read the slide content.

The content of the course including case studies were effective, but the slides in the presentation were very wordy and unengaging.
