Relevance to Auditors, Independent Reviewers & Accountants:
- Adherence with our Code of Conduct is crucial in the performance of our duties.
- Auditors, Independent Reviewers and Accountants should be aware of the latest publications and guidance issued by regulators and standard-setting boards, such as the IESBA.
- The Code requires Professional Accountants (PAs) to comply with the fundamental principle of professional competence and due care. The Code also requires PAs to comply with the fundamental principle of professional behavior, which in turn requires PAs to comply with relevant laws and regulations.
