IESBA Strategy & Work Plan, 2014-2018

The IESBA Strategy & Work Plan, 2014-2018 highlights the board’s priorities and planned actions toward achieving its objective of setting high-quality ethics standards for professional accountants that are widely adopted around the world. 

The Strategy and Work Plan lays out four inter-connected strategic themes that articulate the board’s vision over the medium to longer term:

• maintaining a high quality Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) for application by professional accountants globally;
• promoting and facilitating the adoption and effective implementation of the Code;
• evolving the Code for continued relevance in a changing global environment; and
• increasing engagement and cooperation with key stakeholders.

The staff-prepared Basis for Conclusions document relates to, but does not form part of, the Strategy and Work Plan.
