Overview

A distinguishing mark of the accountancy profession is its acceptance of responsibility to act in the public interest. Professional accountants might come across situations where they determine, or suspect that their employing organization or a client is not compliant with laws or regulations. The Code’s fundamental principles of integrity and professional behaviour require accountants to respond to non-compliance with laws and regulations (NOCLAR) by taking appropriate action, putting the interests of the public first.

In Part 5 of our ethics webinar series we look at Non-Compliance with Laws and Regulations for Professional Accountants in Public Practice (PAPPs).

The Exploring the IESBA Code series is intended to promote awareness, adoption and implementation of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards).

Join our technical expert Lettie Janse van Vuuren CA(SA) on 1 December 2020 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. as she continues with the series in her usual easy-going and understandable format.
