AFA 511

Ethics and Sustainability in Accounting

The course covers a number of the well-known accounting scandals of past years. Invariably, there is an auditor or accountant involved, and unfortunately there are many such cases. Topics and standards relating to ethics and sustainability in accounting are also covered. On the ethics side, Chartered Professional Accountants must adhere to a code of professional conduct, which is covered in-depth. On the sustainability side, voluntary and mandatory sustainability and carbon accounting reporting standards, such as the GRI and CDP, form a significant portion of the course.
