• The Path of the Virtuous Accountant
• Ethics for Angels: Ethical Accounting For Non-Profits

They do not have to be bored to tears in the process. ProEthics, a company that has built its reputation and client base on ethics training that is as engaging as it is effective, now offers the first three seminars in a series of interactive training for accounting professionals: The Path of the Virtuous Accountant, Ethics for Angels: Ethical Accounting For Non-Profits, and Advanced Accounting Ethics: Avoiding the Dark Side.

All are live, lively, interactive seminar that has two, three and four hour versions. Attendees receive a foundation in basic ethical principles using concepts from diverse disciplines and fields. They review the ethical problem-solving process in the business and accounting context, and are introduced to the impediments, some unexpected and insidious, to ethical practice. The seminars explore challenging and entertaining hypothetical situations, as the class votes on options and engages in lively discussion designed to sharpen ethics sensitivity, knowledge, and problem solving ability.

• Traps, pitfalls, and pre-unethical conditions
• Spotting and avoiding corrupting influences, arguments, and situations.
