CPA Professional exam compulsory subjects – Ethics & Governance

Ethics and governance is a core component of the knowledge and skill base of today’s professional accountants. As key business decision makers, accountants must be proficient in regulatory regimes, compliance requirements, and governance mechanisms to ensure lawful and effective corporate behaviour and operations.

A better understanding of ethics, corporate governance frameworks and mechanisms links with the various roles and responsibilities outlined in other subjects of the CPA Program.

From an individual perspective, this subject provides you with the analytical and decision-making skills and knowledge to identify and resolve professional and ethical issues.

The skills and knowledge obtained are also important for subjects that specialise in the functional disciplines of accounting such as Advanced Taxation, Financial Reporting, Strategic Management Accounting and Advanced Audit and Assurance.
