The presentation deals with the practical application of the fundamental principles of the Code of Professional Conduct by means of case studies and recent disciplinary matters. The basic principles of Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance will be explained, as well as the lessons the professional accountant can learn from PI trends to avoid ethical dilemmas.
The aim of this session is to provide practical guidance to accountants to (hopefully) avoid making the same ethical mistakes as others have, and thereby avoid the stress and trauma of litigation and disciplinary hearings. The ethical fundamental principles will be supported by practical experience from disciplinary and PI trends.
