Course Description:
They’re lurking all around us, sometimes hiding in plain sight. You never know who around might be an UNSUB (Unethical Subject).

Together we will unearth the truth about the history of tax preparer ethics and the events that led us to this classroom today. We will explore the evolution of ethical guidelines and how they are applied and enforced.
We will dive deep into the most outrageous cases of unethical behavior, including the latest in predatory practices, and due diligence requirements.
