Overview     

 In some cultures, the exchange of gifts and hospitality can be an important factor in building and strengthening business relationships. At the same time however, these and other inducements can threaten a professional accountant’s ability to be objective and act with integrity. Proper checks and balances are needed to safeguard professional behaviour in the public interest. 

Part 4 of our ethics webinar series deals with inducements and how the professional accountant should address them. This webinar also tackles the issue of Non-Compliance with Laws and Regulations for Professional Accountants in Business (PAIBs). 

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