In partnership with ACCA Washington DC Chapter, the Association of Government Accountants – Montgomery/Prince George’s County (MPGC) Chapter invites you to attend the Annual Ethics Workshop.

 

The accounting profession is undergoing rapid transformation as emerging technologies and evolving regulatory requirements reshape how CPAs serve clients, employers and the public. Today’s CPAs must not only understand the laws, regulations and ethical standards governing the profession, but also navigate the unique ethical challenges created by artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies.

 

This Virginia Board of Accountancy (VBOA)-approved ethics course provides a comprehensive examination of both the regulatory framework governing CPAs in Virginia and the ethical responsibilities associated with the use of generative and agentic AI. Participants will explore the foundations of professional ethics, the role of the Virginia Board of Accountancy, and the statutes, regulations and professional standards that guide CPA conduct. The course also examines how existing ethical principles apply to AI-enabled environments, including risks related to data privacy, bias, accuracy, transparency, deepfakes, and regulatory compliance.

 

Through practical examples, case studies and real-world scenarios, participants will learn how to apply the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct to traditional ethical dilemmas as well as emerging technology-related challenges. The course reinforces that AI is a powerful assistive tool, not a substitute for professional judgment, and provides guidance on developing responsible AI usage policies that include documentation, validation, governance, and staff education.

 

By the end of the program, attendees will have a stronger understanding of Virginia's regulatory requirements, professional responsibilities and ethical decision-making frameworks, while gaining practical tools to responsibly integrate AI into their professional practice and protect the public interest

 

Workshop participants can earn 4 CPE Credits in Regulatory and Behavioral Ethics.

 

Note: This Ethics session meets the CPE requirements for DC, Maryland, and VA.
