Is it considered a CPA ethics violation to let someone borrow my login to a cpa prep website? The reason I say “borrow” is bc they wouldn’t be using it long term, they just want to log on to see if they think they can get the exam done and then they’d pay for their own if they feel confident after looking through.

The only unethical thing related to this would be you sat for the exam and you shared what was on your exam. It isn't unethical to share prep materials since all the materials are readily available to anyone who wants to pay for it.

How is it unethical to share a prep course? Has nothing to do with you sharing what’s on the exam (which is an ethics violation). You’re fine

Because doing so I stealing from the urbanization that sells the prep materials to a singular person - not then and their best friend. How does anyone not understand that is theft?
