Objectives and Activities- Ethics
The CCAB Ethics Group co-ordinates activities between the member bodies relating to ethical guidance and liaises with relevant FRC standard setting and oversight boards, in respect of ethical issues. This includes:
- discussions with the Auditing Practices Board regarding auditor independence issues,
- application of the IFAC (International Federation of Accountants) requirement to apply independence requirements to assurance engagements, and
- the implementation of the new IFAC code of ethics.
The Group has recently responded to the Auditing Practices Board (APB) request for comments on the Revised Draft Ethical Standards for Auditors. Click here for the APB’s consultation paper.
