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?

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.
