Professional Ethics: A Boeing Story

Boeing, a global aerospace giant, has been embroiled in ethical controversies over recent years, particularly surrounding the development of the 737 MAX aircraft. The company faced allegations of prioritizing profits over safety, leading to catastrophic crashes. This course will explore Boeing's lack of critical ethical decision-making and the broader implications for corporate governance and compliance, especially relevant for CPAs.

 

Learning Objectives

1. Understand the IESBA’s five pillars of ethics and their practical application in real-world business settings.
2. Analyze Boeing’s ethical decision-making failures and their impact on corporate governance and stakeholder trust.
3. Apply critical thinking and ethical decision-making skills to corporate scenarios that challenge integrity and objectivity.
4. Recognize the importance of professional competence and due care in financial reporting and accountability.
5. Explore how CPAs can foster an ethical culture within high-risk industries to ensure transparency and compliance.

The course is designed for CPAs and professionals looking to understand what can go wrong if our fundamental principles of ethics are threatened by low psychological safety and a toxic organizational culture.
