IESBA Consults on 2019-2023 Strategy and Work Plan
IESBA thanks all its stakeholders who repsonded to its Proposed Strategy and Work Plan, 2019-2023. We're consdering the great feedback at our next Board meeting in September.
Leveraging the completely rewritten and significantly strengthened International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards), the proposed Strategy and Work Plan projects the IESBA’s vision for the Code in the global economy. The IESBA’s future priorities and actions will be guided by three strategic themes:
- Advancing the Code’s relevance by keeping it fit-for-purpose for a rapidly changing world, and further strengthening ethical conduct and independence standards;
- Deepening and expanding the Code’s impact and influence through increased global adoption and implementation; and
- Enriching the IESBA’s perspectives and capacities through proactive stakeholder dialogue and co-operation.
