The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) is an independent standard-setting body that serves the public interest by setting high-quality ethical standards for professional accountants and by facilitating the convergence of international and national ethical standards, including auditor independence requirements, through the development of a robust, internationally appropriate code of ethics.

Do the current provisions continue to provide robust and appropriate safeguards against familiarity and self-interest threats? Or, should they be amended?
