Is your Board looking for alternative ways to address ethics disciplinary matters that would assist your practitioners in learning how to avoid future ethical violations and in turn protect your consumers? If so, the NASBA Center for the Public Trust’s (CPT) Ethical Leadership Training Program could be your answer.  

The Ethical Leadership Training Program is designed to help professionals identify ethical issues, resolve ethical dilemmas and create an environment that promotes the highest standard of ethical behavior in their state. The program currently serves as the remediation of choice for 19 State Boards of Accountancy as part of their disciplinary settlement agreements with licensees that have violated state board regulations.   

The Ethical Leadership Training Program is designed to provide tools and resources to guide ethical decision making and encourage changes in future behavior. Easy to implement, the program carries no cost to the state board as the licensee pays the related costs to participate in the program. The training experience is structured as a three-module program, with an optional fourth module customized with your board’s state specific ethics. The tracking and reporting components provide boards with accurate information on a participant’s pass rate. In fact, pass rates are customizable by each state board. Upon completion of the ethics training, the participant receives a certificate indicating their success.  

Ethical decision making in the workplace as a CPA can be challenging. It requires clarity of values along with accountability, critical thinking skills, professionalism, and trust. Let the CPT help train your licensees as they strive for ethical behavior in business.
