Respond 1:
The AICPA Code of Conduct is based on six principles; (1)
responsibilities (2) serve the
public interest (3) integrity (4) objectivity and independence (5)
due care and (6) scope and nature of services. These principles
are required practices for all certified public accountants who
are members of the AICPA.
1. Responsibilities: Every professional has the obligation and
duty to perform every action in order to complete the tasks that
were assigned. All members need to work together to ensure
that all responsibilities are met in a timely and respective
manner.
2. Integrity: This principle can be easily violated by
professionals as they can perform actions that are deemed
inappropriate. Professionals need to be honest in their work and
follow the code of conduct principles. Integrity also is a
characteristic of the person performing the action.
Respond 2
The Professional conduct standards that the AICPA members
must adhere to are Responsibilities, The Public Interest,
Integrity, Objectivity and Independence and Due Care. In my
opinion the most violated standards are Responsibility and
objectivity and independence.
Responsibility: Often times people forget the responsibility they
have to report certain things to shareholders and the general
public. Sometimes accountants get caught up in pleasing certain
shareholders or even trying to gain from a company that they
violate the responsibility of reporting the truth and doing what
they were hired to do! They have a responsibility to report on
mishandling of money or any issues that may raise a red flag,
but often times they just turn a blind eye.
Objectivity and independence: Under the AICPA Code of
Professional Conduct, in the performance of any professional
service, a member must maintain objectivity and integrity, shall
be free of conflicts of interest, and shall not knowingly
misrepresent facts. It is really hard to be objective and not
biases in this day and age. With the internet and social media,
you often come across information that causes you to be
objective without even realizing it. But they should try not to
have conflict of interest and this is the part that most people
violate. Conflict of interest can be as simple as having stock in
the company you are an accountant for.
