Ethical Intelligence in the Modern Era – Personal Ethics in 2026

The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) requires all members to undertake annual reflection on personal ethics, as outlined in Circular 02/2021. Yet personal ethics is more than a compliance requirement — it sits at the heart of every decision we make as accountants, auditors, leaders, and business professionals.

This first session of our three-part Ethical Intelligence in the Modern Era series focuses entirely on you — your character, your values, your judgement, and how these shape your professional conduct. By exploring real-life scenarios, common ethical blind spots, and the pressures finance professionals face, this webinar helps you understand how personal integrity influences behaviour long before any rulebook applies.

Why You Should Attend

• Meet SAICA’s mandatory annual reflection requirement for personal ethics (Circular 02/2021).
• Deepen your self-awareness around your own values, decision-making habits, and ethical triggers.
• Understand real-world ethical challenges faced by professionals in accounting, auditing, and business.
• Strengthen your ethical resilience — the ability to make sound decisions under pressure, uncertainty, or influence.
• Lay the foundation for the next two parts of the series: Business Ethics and Professional Ethics.

Thought-provoking, practical, and highly relevant, this webinar empowers you to lead with integrity from the inside out — because ethical excellence starts with personal responsibility.
