Description

Members of the public regard our profession highly and expect us to be ethical individuals who can be entrusted with, among other duties, the safe custody and correct valuation of our clients’ valuable assets. Professional bodies and regulators also demand that accountants adhere to good conduct and professional behaviour that is expected of the profession!  

As cases of graft involving accounting professionals continue to surface, It is important that the few rotten apples do not spoil the whole pack. Adherence to professional ethics, and full compliance with laws and regulations must be non-negotiable virtues of every accountant!  

This webinar discusses how as individual members of this profession, we can safeguard our professional integrity by having good work ethics, being independent, and abiding to relevant laws and regulations in every facet of our work.
