This course has been approved by the Florida Board and it is good for the two-year period ending June 30, 2025. Personal and Professional Ethics for Florida CPAs is designed to meet the biennial ethics requirement for Florida CPAs renewing their licenses. In addition to meeting the Board of Accountancy requirements, this course is designed to give guidance on the laws, rules, and regulations that govern the CPA profession and the practical application of these rules in the daily operation of their businesses. Ethical behavior involves more than mere knowledge of right and wrong. It also involves the motivation to alter inappropriate behavior. Thus, an ethics course is only as good as its potential to motivate participants to think about their behavior and make change to that behavior when necessary. The course begins with a presentation of ethics and ethical reasoning. This material is designed to help participants better understand the impact ethics and ethical reasoning have on their personal lives and professional careers. The course is also designed to help participants recognize the need to make a periodic assessment of their behavior.
