Will Your Ethics Be Burned by Burnout?
Overview
Ethical behavior is not a destination it is a journey with twists, turns, and bumps in the road. We are faced with ethical dilemmas every day. Do I speed to make it to a meeting? Do I call in sick because I need a break? When does “helping my child with their homework” become “doing it for them”? CPAs are ethical most of the time, but staying ethical is hard. It gets harder when we are under stress.
This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.
