Answer 1

The answer is "Whether the gift was reasonable in the circumstances."

The AICPA Code of Professional Conduct is a collection of arranged articulations issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants that blueprint a CPA's moral and expert responsibilities. The code builds up benchmarks for evaluator autonomy, respectability and objectivity, duties to customers and partners and acts discreditable to the bookkeeping calling. The AICPA is in charge of drafting, overhauling and reissuing the code every year, on June 1.
