Mental wellness can be an uncomfortable or unfamiliar subject to discuss—and it is often stigmatized. Yet it is an issue for all of us—even if we aren’t consciously aware of any difficulties. The pandemic has been a wake-up call for greater awareness and understanding as so many have endured extraordinary circumstances for such an extended period, and continue to do so.

New Article from the IESBA COVID-19 Working Group: 5 Ethical Challenges that Will Intensify as the Pandemic Wanes

New York, NY English

A working group formed by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) and national ethics standard setters (NSS) from Australia, Canada, China, South Africa, the UK and the US has released 5 Ethical Challenges that Will Intensify as the Pandemic Wanes, a look at the key ethical issues that lie ahead for professional accountants as the COVID-19 pandemic moves into the next phase. This informative, deep-dive article revisits many of the topics the working group cited previously as ethical challenges brought on by the pandemic and provides updated context and insights to help the professional accountant navigate a continually evolving economic and societal recovery.

The IESBA COVID-19 Working Group, chaired by Mr. Richard Fleck, former IESBA Deputy Chair, has been developing implementation support resources to assist accountants in effectively applying the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) when facing circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic. This publication also benefited from input from IESBA Staff.

The article can be found on the IESBA Website and on IFAC’s Gateway.
