Ethics Mistakes That Cost Accountants Clients, Fees, and Their Reputation

Most accountants don’t lose clients or income because of poor technical work — they lose it because of ethical mistakes. This session helps accountants understand where ethical risk really starts and how to protect their practice, reputation, and fees when clients push boundaries.

Product Information

Ethical problems rarely arrive as big, obvious issues. They usually start small — a favour for a client, pressure to “help just this once”, or silence when something doesn’t feel right.

This session looks at the real ethics problems accountants face in practice, not textbook rules or theory. It focuses on everyday situations where poor ethical decisions quietly lead to lost clients, unpaid fees, complaints, and long-term damage to a practice.

The session is practical and direct. It shows how ethical mistakes cost money, destroy trust, and put careers at risk. Delegates will learn how to respond when clients cross the line, how to say no without losing control of the relationship, and how to protect themselves while still running a profitable practice.
