Ethics in Tax Practice 2022

Presenters : Caryn Maitland


Overview

Being a tax and accounting professional in today's environment is a challenge. Our clients are faced with many dilemmas and temptations to stray off the right path due to trying to survive (and possibly being frustrated by the world around them). As a professional, we have a responsibility to our clients, the profession, and ourselves to hold accountable to the highest ethical standards, and to instill trust and respect for our advice and guidance. The way we can successfully do this is to continually check in with ourselves and be aware of our own moral compass but at the same time hold space and be open to understanding our clients' challenges and points of view so that we can advise and guide them to do the right thing. This seemingly impossible task is something we need to do, regardless of our professional responsibilities as we need to continually reflect on what the ethical decision and action is without undue influence.
 
This recording-workshop is designed to give you space to reflect on your own personal journey and consider what you are striving for during these difficult times, as well as what you won't tolerate. It is just as important to know what you won’t tolerate as to know what you hope to inspire and see take shape in the world.

The profession demands strict adherence to the principles of ethics. To build and maintain the trust of the public when they think of our profession, practitioners need to be ethical individuals who can be entrusted to give the appropriate advice so that our clients can sleep well at night knowing that they are doing the right thing.
