Overview

The IESBA Code of Conduct was revised in October 2020 in respect of the role and mindset expected of professional accountants.

The revisions explicitly recognize that the accountancy profession is entrusted with public confidence in the wide-ranging roles it plays in society and that such confidence is based on the skills and values it brings to its professional activities. Importantly, they reaffirm the profession’s responsibility to act in the public interest and the fundamental role of the Code in meeting that responsibility.

The Role and Mindset Revisions will become effective as of 31 December 2021.

Join our technical expert Lettie Janse van Vuuren CA(SA) on 24 November 2020 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for this webinar as she provides an overview of the revisions to the Code to promote the Role and Mindset expected of every professional accountant.
