Course Details

warning signs were there — overlooked, rationalised, or ignored under pressure. This webinar puts those cases under the microscope so you can learn from them before you face a similar situation yourself.

 

Drawing directly on published disciplinary decisions from the FRC, ICAEW, ACCA, and other professional bodies, this session analyses real ethical failings by qualified accountants in practice — examining what went wrong, why, and what the profession expects of us in those moments.

 

In this session Lindsay Webber will cover the following topics: 

  • Understand how disciplinary bodies assess ethical breaches
  • Recognise the warning signs that precede ethical failings
  • Apply lessons from real cases to your own practice situations
  • Understand where practitioners most commonly fall short
  • Strengthen your professional judgement in grey-area situations

 

By attending this session, you will understand how professional disciplinary bodies — including the FRC, ICAEW, and ACCA — investigate and adjudicate ethical breaches, and what standards they apply when assessing accountants' conduct.

 

This session will be of interest to qualified accountants in practice
