The IESBA Decoding Ethics Podcast

Feb 17, 2026 | English

"Decoding Ethics: Building trust in a tech-driven world" is a podcast of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) exploring the technological and ethical risks and opportunities shaping the future of accounting and finance. Through in-depth conversations with global thought leaders, Decoding Ethics helps professionals navigate change and lead with integrity in a tech-driven world.


Episode 2 - Quantum is Coming!

Quantum computing is no longer science fiction. With experts predicting operational quantum computers as early as 2029, the implications for data security, encryption, and professional trust are rapidly becoming very real.

In this episode of Decoding Ethics, host Jeanne Viljoen is joined by Clinton Firth, a cybersecurity and digital trust partner at PwC whose experience spans national security, intelligence, and enterprise risk, to unpack what quantum computing actually is—and why it matters now for the accounting profession.


Episode 1 - How can ethics keep pace with innovation?

In the first episode of "Decoding Ethics: Building trust in a tech-driven world", recorded live at the inaugural IESBA Ethics & Independence Conference in Lisbon, IESBA brings together leaders from EY, KPMG UK, and Responsible Intelligence to explore the impact of AI on audit and accounting, the importance of principle-based standards, and why trust is essential for technology to drive sustainable innovation in a tech-driven world.
