CPA Ethics – Government
CPAs who audit government entities or work in the public sector continuously seek to represent the profession with fair-mindedness and integrity.

  • A history of ethical standards including a discussion of ethics and morality,
  • Which professional and regulatory agencies CPAs should be mindful of,
  • Ethics and Independence Standards pronounced by the AICPA,
  • Ethics standards for Federal and State government employees, and
  • A review of ethics, independence and professional judgement pronouncements contained in Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS).
