This course is different from most ethics courses in its practicality and examples and coverage, taught by an active CFO who has faced lots of real-life ethics issues and many realistic cases are discussed. It works through difficult areas, ethical principles, key ethics rules and then a large number of practical case situations.

This session was created and is presented by a veteran CFO who has created seminars that nearly 22,000 accountants have attended and are known for practicality, examples, and humour, who is a prolific writer of published cases. This course is an extract from the 7 hour course Practical Tips for Controllers & CFOs – The Case Course.

Applicable for:
Any accountant wanting to improve their practical approach to ethics.
