Most business ethics courses focus on concepts like “tone at the top”, “integrity”, “code of conduct”, “values”, and “ethical culture." These are extremely important concepts and must be understood.
But often, when a professional finds they are in a potential “ethical” situation, they question “What should I do?” It is not as easy as flipping a coin. Ethics aren’t always black and white and there or many variables that can impact both the issue and the outcome.
This course presents real-life ethical scenarios then challenges you to put yourself in the place of the professional to truly think about “What would I do?” The scenarios are all true….the names have been changed to protect the innocent!
You will come away from this training with a new view of putting ethics into practice.

I enjoyed this course it had lots of valuable information about fraud.
Felt like the course was more of reading from the slide material.
I've been using pivot tables for years and still picked up a few helpful hints in this lesson. This is a very useful session for any user.
This is course gives 5 real world scenarios and asked us to think what should we do. It's a good way to think.
The course provided the pros and cons of pivot tables in a succinct manner. The instructor also provided good tips on how to get the most out of pivot tables.
This course was useful. I will recommend this course to others.
The excitement of the content combined with the enthusiasm and insight of Mr. Wasny make this course, along with those he presents on AI, the most inspiring and motivational I've experienced on this platform.
Wendi covers each topic in a very simplified manner.
This course was a great refresher on the time value of money concepts. The instructor provides alot of examples of calculating the old-fashioned way. I do wish he had gone over the use of Excel in solving some of these problems.
Detailed instruction by author. Refresher course still if you know Excel.
Honestly, I got more out of watching Ted Talks and YouTube videos ...
Quit extensive course that gives a good idea about basics of fraud trends and methods for prevention in modern world
Excellent! I really enjoyed listening to all of the real-life examples provided in this course.
Very informative, a lot of great ideas and references to the additional resources.
Good overview of the presentation of financial statements
Very good course. Information was laid out clearly with interesting examples.
I like the overarching subject matter of the course and especially the sections on SWOT
Good material and overview of SAAS metrics. Sound was a little low could be increased but otherwise good
This course is a good overview of professional ethics for MD CPAs
"How should the control environment be viewed by organizations?" <--Based on the expected answer, this question is written extremely poorly & is misleading.
Lynn, the generational divide is an important concept to understand when hiring. This class helps me to understand the challenges in how I must lead the different members on my Team. The biggest challenge is in group meetings and in Team building. This course is very helpful. Thank you, Larry
These quarterly updates never disappoint. I look forward to these and knowing I'm up to date on current accounting issues.
Appreciated the real life scenarios and the request to think what we would do in each case.
This course was really interesting because I learned about some of the new things I can do with 365. Definitely recommended. However, digging into the differences between various versions of Excel is not too interesting.
Great content! I really learned a lot about how to apply Excel functions to financial planning & analysis.
Great coverage of topical area. I enjoyed the approach and would make this part of every professional's annual CPE.
It was great to review and/or learn anew these important topics.
Generally good advices and I hope the course can add more real life examples to support the theoretical system.
Excellent instructor! I look forward to taking more of his courses regarding non-profit organizations.
Very good refresher! Must take it every few years. Very good coverage.
Recommended for anyone who needs a refresher on auditing or anyone who is about to go through an audit!
Great Course I think we need more documentation.
Most engaging course I've taken on this site. Instructor does very well holding your attention and keeping it interesting.
Much prefer video presentations. Case facts are much more obvious than typical fraud cases. CPA should never practice again demonstrating no knowledge and/or interest in identifying basis of fair financial presentation or uncovering significant issues with client financials.
Well-organized. Very helpful for anyone teaching financial accounting.
This is an interesting and complex topic. I would have liked to see a longer, more indepth session.
great overview for non-sales tax experts. Great examples to support the rules.
Very concise and to the point information.
Excellent course for finance professionals.
Slides very helpful. Information very thorough.
Highly overrated topic, simplistic and not very insightful.
great course
Good overview.
Clear and concise - great examples provided. A great course for any experienced auditor.
This course covered some seemingly basic concepts that are huge time savers if you are unaware of them.
Great, thorough explanations and examples
Really good info and helpful scenarios in the questions at the end.
deilvery quality needs to be improved
What about online identity theft companies? What do they do and are there worth the money? What are the steps to take if you have your identity stolen?
More information on analytics to identify misuse.
Great topic - great presenter
Helpful
Thank you for the valuable course.
Excellent course
Too much time spent discussing the presenter's qualifications
Test questions were not captured in the presentation materials.
Great course!
Excellent Course!!
Good material but monotone delivery makes it difficult to focus.
I like that good and bad examples of presenting data were given
A helpful guide on employee classification
Very information. Great background.
Bullet points - not the entire conversation or presentation - Please!!!!
Great instructor, great overview!
Done
Too many slides in the deck. Some of the color background slides do not have the proper contrast and are high to read. Course should be more than 1 CPE based on the amount of material.
I really like Lynn's systematic explanations, as she explores every facet of every skill needed in today's internal auditor.
ok
l like learn about this course and subject We will follow full courses for an intense love thank you very much
Very basic information. Good information for non-accountants
