This course meets the statutory requirement of the Virginia Board of Accountancy that CPA’s licensed in Virginia take 2 hours of continuing professional education each year that covers material specified by the Virginia Board of Accountancy.  The topics covered are specified by the Board each year and the required topics change annually.

This course focuses on the Virginia CPA working in business, industry, or government.  It meets the requirements for all CPAs, including those working in public practice; but the emphasis is on making the course as applicable as possible to CPAs not in public practice.  The presenter has worked his entire career in business and government.

The 2020 course covers the Virginia Board of Accountancy enforcement process; a Virginia regulatory change update; an update on the AICPA Code of Professional Ethics for CPA’s; professional skepticism and professional judgement; ethical decision-making models; and several cases that deal with the “gray areas” of ethical decision making.

This was a good overview of the new & pending standards for this year. One small issue was the audio for the Virginia Regulatory Update section went out at the 5 minute mark and didn't come back on for the rest of that section. Also happened at the same spot in the Continuous Play feature.

This was a good annual ethics course -- good format and I like the way VBOA messaging is integrated with the instructor. Also good examples and I appreciated hearing about experiences with the CPE tracker. I look forward to an update in 2021 on how the roll-out is going.

A thorough examination of ethics rules, VCBOA licensing requirements and updates over the last year. Use of video was nice but took up time that could have been used to more thoroughly cover what is in the written class manual.

Larry White's facilitation was excellent. The case studies were relevant, thoughtful, and engaging. Recent changes were addressed in sufficient detail. Most interesting Virginia CPA Ethics course I have taken.

I enjoyed the course. It was interesting. I learned about many topics that I previously had not thought about. It was just long enough and was easy to follow.

- Please add the ability to play the videos in Vimeo at varying speed. - Surprised but it makes sense about no grace period for license.
