Rules of conduct as amended March 31, 1978;Bylaws and implementing resolutions of Council as amended March 31, 1978

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants

This booklet reflects amendments to the rules of conduct and bylaws of the Institute approved by the membership effective March 31, 1978. The code of professional ethics consists of three parts: concepts of professional ethics, a philosophical essay approved by the professional ethics division the rules of conduct, which constitute enforceable standards approved by the membership and interpretations of rules of conduct, which have been adopted by the executive committee of the professional ethics division as guidelines, following exposure to state CPA societies and boards of accountancy. The full code of professional ethics, plus interpretations and ethics rulings summarizing application of the rules to a particular set of facts, are codified in Volume 2 of the AICPA Professional Standards looseleaf service and in the paperback edition of the service. This material is not included in this booklet since the ethics division is reviewing the concepts, interpretations, and rulings in the light of the new rule 502 on advertising. The four interpretations of that rule that were included in the ballot material are included herein (Appendix D) for reference.

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants

There are four categories of ethical standards. They are described in the following paragraphs. The first, Concepts of Professional Ethics, is a philosophical essay approved by the professional ethics division. The essay suggests behavior which CPAs should strive for beyond the minimum level of acceptable conduct set forth in the Rules of Conduct and is not intended to establish enforceable standards. The second category, Rules of Conduct, consists* of enforceable ethical standards and required the approval of the membership before the Rules became effective. The same is true of the Bylaws of the Institute. The third category, Interpretations of Rules of Conduct, consists of interpretations which have been adopted, after exposure to state societies and state boards, by the professional ethics division's executive committee to provide guidelines as to the scope and application of the Rules but are not intended to limit such scope or application. A member who departs from such guidelines shall have the burden of justifying such departure in any disciplinary hearing. The fourth category, Ethics Rulings, consists of formal rulings made by the professional ethics division's executive committee after exposure to state societies and state boards. These rulings summarize the application of Rules of Conduct and Interpretations to a particular set of factual circumstances. Members who depart from such rulings in similar circumstances will be requested to justify such departures.
