The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) 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. 

SPOTLIGHT ON

Breach of a Requirement of the IESBA Code

The IESBA believes that any breach of a provision of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) should be treated as a matter of utmost importance. Therefore, the IESBA has proposed changes to the IESBA Code that will provide guidance to a professional accountant on the action to be taken in such situations. This includes a robust framework for addressing a breach of an independence requirement that will result in greater transparency.  Please click here to view the exposure draft, currently open for public comment.
