AICPA Online Professional Library
Objectives:
• Provide a comprehensive description of at least two (2) codes of conduct that are
applicable to accountants and the accounting profession and explain the similarities and
differences between them. One code of conduct must be the AICPA Code of
Professional Conduct (see Chapter 3), the second is at the discretion of each student.
My recommendation is your selection of a comparison code is one that you find personal
and/or business interest in.
• Explain what the consequences, if any, are for not following the codes of conduct and
impact on stakeholders and the capital market.
This paper and presentation are an opportunity to demonstrate business research skills,
analytical thinking and public speaking. This is a minimum of 4 pages, maximum of 5 pages of
content, 12-point font, IN ADDITION to the Title Page and Sources Page.
Required: You must discuss your second Code with Cindy for approval. There should be
a variety of Codes to choose from and to present on; i.e. not everyone can have the same
second code for comparison.
