Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the accounting profession, creating new opportunities alongside significant ethical responsibilities. This Virginia Board of Accountancy (VBOA)-approved ethics course is designed for CPAs to understand and manage the ethical implications of using generative and agentic AI in 2026 and beyond. Participants will learn why AI ethics matters for CPAs, how AI differs from prior technologies, and where key risks arise, including data privacy, bias, accuracy, transparency, deepfakes and regulatory compliance. The course reinforces that AI is an assistive tool — not a substitute for professional judgment — and examines how core ethical principles apply in an evolving technological environment. Using real-world examples and case studies, the course provides practical guidance on applying existing ethical and regulatory frameworks, including the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, to AI use. Participants will also learn how to develop and implement an effective AI safe usage policy, covering documentation, validation and staff education. By the end of the course, CPAs will be prepared to use AI responsibly, protect client interests, and meet their ethical obligations in an AI-driven profession.
