Professional boundaries aren’t walls, they’re the guardrails that keep your credibility intact. Every CIBA Chartered designation carries a clear scope, defining what you can do and what you mustn’t. Cross that line, and you risk more than your reputation, you risk your licence, your clients’ trust, and your livelihood. Boundaries aren’t there to limit you, they’re there to protect you. In a profession built on integrity and competence, knowing where your authority ends is just as vital as knowing where it begins. Stay within scope, and you safeguard not only your clients, but the entire profession.

The session gives accountants practical tools to spot red flags early, strengthen controls, and turn ethical advice into a valuable client service that builds trust and protects reputations.
