Ethics Part One: Introduction to Ethics and How Ethical Behaviour Is Such An Important Part Of Our Careers!

Bookkeeping is a profession with a reputation based in integrity, accuracy, honesty and acting at all times, ethically.  Your clients trust you and count on you to always act in a manner that continually reinforces and reassures that trust. That means acting at all times ethically and always for the good of all concerned.
On a professional and a personal level, our ethos or ethical beliefs and values are at the very heart of our client relationships. Being and acting ethically is the expectation not only of our clients, but of ourselves, and we must hold ourselves  accountable to the highest standards of our profession.

In this webinar, we’ll explore what ethics is all about, how it intertwines with the decisions and choices in our work everyday and even in our own personal lives. We’ll be reminded that ethics is always about doing the right thing and sometimes doing the right thing might prove to be challenging.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Why it’s always going to be about doing the right thing.
• Why ethics is sometimes far from “cut and dry” and can be complex issues.
• Navigating ethics and the reality of ethics.
• A look at how your “point of view” changes the dynamics in an ethical dilemma.
• Safeguarding your reputation and that of the profession.
• Case studies/ ethical pop quizzes on real-world ethical and moral dilemmas.
