  • IFAC SMP Response to the IESBA PIE Exposure Draft

    Proposed Revisions to the Definitions of Listed Entity and Public Interest Entity in the IESBA Code

    The IFAC SMP Advisory Group believes that the approach for a global PIE definition should be narrow, rather than broad. Otherwise the situation arises where PIEs at an international level are not PIEs under local legislation in several parts of the world and it leads to inconsistent practices. Whilst going beyond this may be necessary in a few jurisdictions and for certain cases (i.e., this would be determined in legislation), exclusions of entities or additions by individual firms would be far less appropriate from a stakeholder’s and public interest perspective.
