Professional Ethics Executive Committee

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

The Committee recognizes that specific threats to meeting the objectives of the fundamental principles may arise when providing professional services to clients and employers. Because it is impossible to address in the Code every situation that creates such threats and specify the appropriate safeguards to mitigate or eliminate those threats, the proposed Framework provides guidance to members when faced with making decisions on ethical matters that are not explicitly addressed by the Code. Under no circumstances, however, may the proposed Framework be used to justify noncompliance with the prohibitions or requirements contained in the rules, interpretations, and rulings in the …

Professional Ethics Executive Committee

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

To provide guidance to members not in public practice on the use of the CPA designation, the Professional Ethics Executive Committee proposes, subject to member comment, to issue Ruling 66 under ET section 191 of the AICPA Code of Professional Ethics. Ruling 66 provides that the use of the CPA designation by a member who is not in public practice in a manner to imply that the member is independent of the employer will be considered a knowing misrepresentation of fact.

There are four categories of ethical standards. They are described in the following paragraphs.

The essay suggests behavior which CPAs should strive for beyond the minimum level of acceptable conduct set forth in the Rules of Conduct and is not intended to establish enforceable standards. The second category, Rules of Conduct, consists* of enforceable ethical standards and required the approval of the membership before the Rules became effective. The same is true of the Bylaws of the Institute. The third category, Interpretations of Rules …

Independence Of Accountants: Guidelines And Examples Of Situations Involving The Independence Of Accountants, United States. Securities And Exchange Commission

Federal Publications

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the publication of an additional release in its Accounting Series on the subject of the independence of the certifying accountant. The primary purpose of this release is to set forth presently existing guidelines employed by the Commission in resolving the various independence questions that come before it. This release, therefore, is not intended to supersede Accounting Series Release No. 47 issued on January 25, 1944, or No. 81 issued on December 11, 1958, but should be read as complementing and implementing further the policy developed in those prior releases. However, to the extent …

Ethics Opinion No. 20 is an insert. The reliance of the public and the business community on sound financial reporting and advice on business affairs imposes on the accounting profession an obligation to maintain high standards of technical competence, morality and integrity. To this end, a member or associate of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants shall at all times maintain independence of thought and action, hold the affairs of his clients in strict confidence, strive continuously to improve his professional skills, observe generally accepted auditing standards, promote sound and informative financial reporting, uphold the dignity and honor of …

The Q&A's which follow were prepared by the staff as an aid to practitioners in resolving ethical problems. While every effort has been made to reflect accurately the files from which the Q&A's were prepared, and to avoid duplication, we recognize that we may not have been successful in every case. Therefore, it cannot be emphasized too strongly that in the summarization process an element of distortion may have been introduced in either the statement of the question or in the committee's reply. It must also be kept in mind that the ethics of the profession change to meet changing …

Ethical Standards Of The Accounting Profession, John L. Carey, William O. Doherty Jan 1966

Ethical Standards Of The Accounting Profession, John L. Carey, William O. Doherty

AICPA Professional Standards

To call this book a revision of John L. Carey's Professional Ethics of Certified Public Accountants, published in 1956, is an understatement requiring some explanation. It is true that the current version, like its predecessor, has three main parts and eleven chapters. A glance at the table of contents will reveal that many of the same subjects are again being dealt with, and in substantially the same order. In short, the plan of the older book has been retaineda plan which emphasizes general ethical principles as guides to practitioners in determining the proper course to follow in specific circumstances. But …

Professional Ethics Of Certified Public Accountants, John L. Carey

AICPA Professional Standards

This book was begun merely to bring up to date Professional Ethics of Public Accounting, published in 1946, but it has become a much more ambitious project, despite the fact that much of the earlier material is included here. A lot has happened to the accounting profession in ten years. The number of certified public accountants has increased from 28,000 to 54,000 and the membership of the American Institute of Accountants from 10,000 to 28,000. The stature of the profession has increased more than its size, and the scope of its services has broadened. It is attracting more public noticeand …

Professional Ethics Of Public Accounting, John L. Carey

AICPA Professional Standards

The main purpose of this book is to help young accountants and students to understand the existing rules of professional conduct applicable to the accounting professionwhy each rule seemed desirable, how it is being interpreted in particular situations, how it fits in a logical pattern of sensible conduct for certified public accountants, not only in the interest of society as a whole, but in their own self-interest. By rearranging the subject matter of the rules according to general classes of objectives, an effort has been made to show the profession's own conception of its obligations to the public as a …

Securities And Exchange Commission Today Announced The Publication Of An Additional Release In Its Accounting Series Dealing With The Independence Of Certifying Accountants, United States. Securities And Exchange Commission, William W. Werntz

Federal Publications

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the publication of an additional release in its Accounting Series dealing with the independence of certifying accountants. Various statutes administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission recognize the necessity of independence on the part of an accountant who certifies financial statements. In administering these Acts the Commission has consistently held that the question of independence is one of fact, to be determined in the light of all the pertinent circumstances in a partic-ular case. For this reason it has not been practicable, and the Commission has made no attempt, to catalog all of …

Ethics Of A Profession, A. P. Richardson

Guides, Handbooks and Manuals

For the purpose of this book I shall assume, what I believe to be the case, that there can be no doubt at all of the professional standing of accountancy. In the treatment of the questions which will be considered it seems best to take the various inhibitions in the order in which they apply in the experience of most men—in other words I shall try to discuss the temptations encountered and the reasons for resisting them in the order in which they will be met by a young man opening an office for the conduct of public practice.
