February 2, 2017 – Ethics and Compliance with Respect to Charitable Gifts

“Ethics and Compliance with Respect to Charitable Gifts”

Professionals soliciting and providing advice with respect to charitable gifts not only need to know the legal and tax rules associated with each charitable strategy, but they also must understand their ethical obligations and duties with respect to the donor.  This program will serve as a good refresher on the ethical rules associated with charitable gifting.
