2 Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and a body ain t got no business doing wrong when he ain t ignorant and knows better. Mark Twain The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
3 Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do. Potter Stewart
4 What is law? Is it what is on the books, or what is actually enacted and obeyed in a society? Or is law what must be enacted and obeyed, whether or not it is on the books, if things are to go right? Bernhard Schlink, The Reader
5 Ethic of Justice Principles based Places great weight on rules, laws and principles applied equally Resistant to exceptions Concerned about setting precedent
6 Sense of responsibility to reduce harm and suffering Solutions are tailored to circumstances Exceptions come easy Situational ethics Objective = equity Ethic of Care Results = arbitrary and individualistic
7 What to Do When Policies Do Not Resolve the Dilemma? - Discuss with superior - Clarify relevant issues with advisor - Consult legal counsel - RESIGN
8 What Causes People to Compromise Their Ethical Standards? - Unrealistic expectations - Desire to further one s career - Desire to protect one s livelihood - Diminished morale in work environment - Ignorance of what is unethical Source: Business Ethics Survey 2005

62 Communication Historically, poor communication with clients is the #1 reason complaints are filed against a licensee
63 The Complaint Alleged that the licensee failed to file an estate return on time, which resulted in a penalty of $50, The licensee did not communicate with the Complainant in a timely manner.
64 The Investigation Investigation revealed that the CPA ed an extension for the estate to the executor with specific instructions as to the deadline for filing and the amount owed. The executor filed the return 10 days after the deadline.
65 The Resolution Finding that the CPA had not violated any of the professional standards, the Board dismissed the complaint.
66 Complaints = Cost Embarrassment Time spent in response and investigation Public Record Cost of Attorney
67 Communication with the Board License and firm permit renewal Responding to correspondence from the Board Continuing Professional Education Peer Review Professional Privilege Tax
68 Professional Competence Taking on jobs you can t finish in a timely manner. Engagements beyond your expertise. Lack of knowledge of the standards.
69 The Complaint CPA failed to prepare the renewal application for a client s deferred presentment (check cashing) license. Client was audited by the Division of Financial Institutions and fined for operating without a license.
70 The Story The CPA told client he would fix the problem and take it to Nashville. Client produced documents showing that the CPA did not provide the paperwork to the State until after the business had been audited, fined and closed.
71 The Ruling The Tennessee Board of Accountancy ruled The CPA was guilty of gross negligence; The CPA failed to exercise due professional care; and The CPA lacked the competence to complete the professional services in a reasonable time.
72 The Resolution The CPA signed a Consent Order: Placed on probation for 2 years; Assessed a $5,000 civil penalty; and Required additional 2 hours of state specific ethics CPE.
73 The Tennessee State Board of Accountancy has issued 24,236 licenses in its history. 56 of those licenses have been revoked by the Board. This is the story of one of those revocations.
74 The Complaints First complaint-the CPA failed to return client records and did not answer phone or requests. Second complaint- the CPA failed to file the client s income tax return and did not answer his phone calls or s.
75 The Investigation Once located by the Investigator, the CPA responded immediately.
76 The Resolution The Board ruled that the Licensee s absence had not harmed his clients and dismissed those complaints.
77 The Complaint A Licensee self-reported the assessment of $5,000 in preparer penalties. The penalties were related to the returns of one company and its four owners.
78 The Story The Investigation revealed that the IRS audit found mistakes that were primarily the result of incorrect or missing information supplied by the client; e.g. ending inventory, missing settlement statements.
79 The Resolution Noting that the CPA had no prior history of complaints, the Board closed the complaint with a letter of warning.
80 What s New? Firm mobility requirements when firms perform engagements in more than 1 state AICPA Financial Reporting Framework for Small- to Medium-Sized Entities (FRF for SMEs) State Board CPE Tracking Program (optional)
