ACFO-ACAF, in partnership with the Office of the Comptroller General, is pleased to announce that a free ethics course is coming to Kitchener-Waterloo as part of the Joint Career Development Program. 

ACFO-ACAF’s Upholding Workplace Ethics course will be offered to Ontario-based members on November 20 at the FedDev offices in Kitchener-Waterloo as part of a regional training pilot project aimed at expanding the reach of the training funded through the CT Collective Agreement. 

Details 

Upholding Workplace Ethics (7 CPD hours) 
Wednesday, November 20 
8:30 am – 4:30 pm ET 
FedDev (139 Northfield Drive West, Suite 101) 
Apply here!

Eligibility 

This course is open to any ACFO-ACAF member living and working in the Ontario Region. We regret, however, that travel support will not be provided as part of this pilot. Selected participants must be able to attend the in-person training in Kitchener-Waterloo. 

Attendance is capped at 16 participants so a randomized lottery may be needed to help choose participants. This lottery will be separate from the main JCDP course lottery and, at least for this year, participation in this regional training pilot project won’t affect your odds of being selected through the course lottery. 

Please discuss your interest in this course with your supervisor prior to applying to ensure you will be able to attend for the full day. 

The course 

Finance and audit professionals carry a heavy burden when it comes to workplace ethics. With a direct line of sight into the financials of an organization and with access to the books that serve as the basis for reporting, it’s no wonder that integrity and ethical conduct are cornerstones of the profession.  

This course explores the issues related to ethics for finance and audit professionals with a specific focus on common issues in public sector workplaces. From attestations to disclosing wrongdoing and even ethical considerations in your daily interactions with coworkers, this hands-on course covers a wide range of relevant topics and practical examples of ethical issues public sector finance professionals could face in their careers.  

This course will be offered in English. For any questions, please contact jcdp@acfo-acaf.com.
