Accounting: Ethics CPE Courses
Since 2007 Charles (Chad) Weinstein) has been providing 1-, 2-, 4- and 8-hour ethics courses through the Minnesota Society for CPAs. They have been exceedingly well-received, earning among their highest feedback scores (4.5 and above). We also provide customized, in-house training for public accounting firms, and for finance departments that include CPAs. We have a similarly strong record of excellent reviews and repeat customers.
The reasons for participants’ enthusiasm:
- Our training is based on the principle that ethics is not about avoiding wrongdoing, but about being our best. We help professionals to use ethical principles and practices to be more effective in serving clients and in achieving their own business objectives along the way.
- We don’t just read the code to them. We teach specific, proven techniques that help them to get better.
- For in-house programs, we focus on the firm’s specific objectives, mission and values, to help professionals internalize and operationalize those ideas, specific to their organizations.
- Our programs are highly interactive, highly respectful, and entertaining (even funny) enough to be a pleasant surprise.
When we customize a 4- or 8-hour program for a specific firm, we interview members to align our message. We also work with the client to pick from a menu of topics to be customized. Examples include:
- Operationalizing your Mission and Values
- 4 Lenses for Ethical Decision-making
- Thinking deeply about Professionalism
- Building Ethical Cultures
- Core Communication Skills for Professional Leaders
- Ethical Persuasion for Clients and Colleagues
- Managing Conflicts Ethically and Effectively
- Character-Driven Professional Ethics
Firms have combined half-day sessions with golf outings or holiday parties, or have conducted 8-hour sessions offsite in theaters, nature centers, resort hotels, or back in their offices.
