Move Beyond Knowing the Code. Practice Making the Decision.
Interactive, scenario-based social compliance ethics training designed for social compliaA Member Firms and Member Auditors.
Course description
Ethics decisions rarely arrive as a Code question.
Auditors make decisions in real time, often with incomplete information, competing pressures, and practical challenges.
Ethics in Practice is a highly interactive 120-minute course that gives participants an opportunity to apply the APSCA Code and Standards of Professional Conduct to realistic social compliance audit situations.
Instead of listening to a two-hour review of Code provisions, participants make decisions as scenarios unfold, explain their reasoning, receive additional facts, and reconsider their decisions before the applicable Code requirements are discussed.
