Why This Matters
In auditing, trust is everything. Clients, regulators, and the public rely on your judgment—and that judgment must be grounded in strong ethics. Ethical standards aren’t just rules; they’re the compass that guides every decision you make.
Real integrity means more than just “following the code.” It’s about spotting potential conflicts, staying truly independent, and knowing how to handle tricky situations without losing credibility. With ethics constantly evolving, keeping up with the latest changes isn’t optional—it’s the difference between being a good auditor and a great one.
