This course is a provocative discussion of ethical issues in accounting, tax and business, centered around your gut, which is more important than you realize in this area. The presenter shares personal and other experiences with ethically challenging situations and their resolution, involving the gut. Past attendees have found it different than other courses, which don't usually discuss your gut in ethical decision-making.  Surveys taken by the course creator show upwards of 50% of CPAs surveyed, regret not following their gut related to past ethical decisions.
