When you personal and professional ethics come into conflict, awareness that is happening and being clear on your own personal code of ethics helps you to make the choice that is right for you.

Using case studies and descriptions of ethical dilemmas, you will learn:

• To identify your personal ethics code
• How your personal ethics code was created

• Understand how critical thinking impacts your work and your life.
• Use the components of critical thinking to provide more value to your auditees.
