Professional Conduct and Ethics for Washington CPAs

Audience: This 4 hour live course is approved by the Washington State Board of Accountancy for four hours of professional ethics credit.

This course is appropriate for CPAs employed in business and industry as well as those engaged in public practice. BrownBagCPE is registered as a sponsor with the Washington State Board of Accountancy to provide CPE Ethics training.

Approved: by the Washington State board of Accountancy as meeting the minimum requirements of WAC 4-25-830 which requires a four-hour course in the subject area of professional ethics with specific application to the practice of public accounting in Washington state.

Advising Family Businesses

Audience: This course should appeal to all professionals who work in a family business or have clients who work in or own part of a family business including CPAs, CFPs, attorneys and insurance and financial professionals.

Level: Basic

Description: This course focuses on the business and tax issues unique to family-owned businesses. Although family businesses are generally more profitable than publicly-traded businesses, few family firms last more than two generations. Various internal tensions tend to doom these once successful firms. This course will enable you to become a more effective family business advisor.

Learn About: Why family-owned firms are more successful than their competitors » Why family firms operate differently than other closely-held businesses » How to reliably anticipate common crises and how to defuse them » Common operating problems including compensation planning and planning for divorces » Problems with hiring practices including hiring in-laws and outlaws » Succession planning, including how to develop a formal succession plan » Income tax issues including related party rules » Selling the business to outsiders or other family members » Estate planning for the business owner » Valuation issues » Liquidity planning including post-death elections » and How to spot ethical traps and malpractice areas.
