This presentation develops and applies the professional fiduciary duty heightened legal standard to the practice of attorneys and CPAs. Lawyers are generally considered fiduciaries for their clients, so the course's main emphasis is on AAA-CPA members "holding out" their CPA credential. The AICPA's recent ethics "re-codification" elevated conflicts of interest and imposes the requirement of an engagement's detailed risk analysis. This new AICPA conflict emphasis seems to heighten the chances that standard CPA engagements may be deemed to rise to the fiduciary duty category level and/or that such relationships receive increased judicial scrutiny.
