Courses Content
The Trainee Ethics Workshop is driven by SAICA’s requirement that all trainees with a contract end date of after 31 March 2019 attend a 6-8 hour ethics workshop. In 2021, this requirements was amended to instead require an average of 3 hours per year (either through training and / or through deliberate discussion). While this course is targeted at trainees, it could be extended to apply to any staff member.
The course encompasses the following elements:
- What are ethics?
- Why are ethics important?
- The consequences of unethical behaviour.
- Why is being unethical wrong?
- An overview of moral philosophy (both normative and meta-ethics).
- Why are ethics important in business specifically?
- How to make ethical choices or decisions.
- The role of the professional accountant in the field of ethics.
- Ethical duties of individuals.
- The role of the SAICA COPC in driving ethical behaviour
The workshop will culminate with trainees being provided with an opportunity to reflect on the content covered.
