Ethics Workshops

One of the hallmarks of a professional qualified accountant is that they must observe high ethical standards. Professional accountants are held in a position of trust, which can be easily damaged by unscrupulous behaviour or poor practice. Bad behaviour by qualified accountants can undermine the whole profession’s reputation; this has lead to more emphasis on ethics training.

The IFA qualifications have ethics learning as part of their mandatory requirements:

• D5 Ethics in the workplace
• P6 The ethical professional.

All IFA students are required to undergo some formal ethics learning, in one of the following ways:

• attend a half day workshop (£100 including assessment)
• complete the IFA’s self study route (launch date and fees to be announced) 
• follow some other ethics learning as agreed in advance with the IFA’s education team.

After completing ethics learning students will be issued with their IFA ethics assessment.

The IFA’s ethics assessments comprise a number of short scenarios and a series of questions that represent real ethical dilemmas. Preparation for completing the assessment is done through addressing ethical dilemmas in the workshops and in self study material and applying techniques or approaches learned. The assessment may be completed in the student’s own time (with up to eight weeks given to submit it) however, as a rough guide it should take no more than three hours to complete. Answers must be original (and not be copied or plagiarised from elsewhere) and checks are undertaken to make sure this is the case.

To book a place on the workshop, please complete the booking form.
