Client-related transactions serve as the focal point for this Regulatory Ethics course. We examine potential impairments to independence, conflicts of interest, and business transactions through the lens of a CPA. Topics covered during this session include contingent fees, commissions, hosting, and client records.

Learning Objectives
  • Recognize and recall activities performed for attest clients which may be considered an impairment of independence by CPAs in accordance with the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct.
  • Identify various threats and risks CPAs face when conducting mutual business with attest clients.
  • Explore and recall independence impairments and responsibilities CPA’s must consider when charging contingent fees and providing hosting services.
