The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants® (IESBA®) is an independent standard-setting body that serves the public interest by setting robust, internationally appropriate ethics standards, including auditor independence requirements, for professional accountants worldwide. These are compiled in the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants™.
SPOTLIGHT ON
The IESBA has extended their deadline to March 1, 2018 to give stakeholders an extra month to respond to their Fees Questionnaire. The Fees Questionnaire's findings will inform the Ethics Board about whether there is a need for further enhancements to the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants or commissioning of staff guidance due to the fees charged by firms.
