Public Interest Entity Definitions: Database by Jurisdiction
- 03 May 2023
- Accounting
- South African Accounting Academy
IRBA has already amended the PIE definition in December 2022, and is also included in this database under South Africa’s jurisdiction.
Among other things, the PIE revisions:
- Expanded the list of PIE categories in the Code, including a new category, “publicly traded entity,” to replace the category “listed entity.”
- Recognize the essential role local bodies responsible for the adoption of the Code play in delineating the specific entities that should be scoped in as PIEs in their jurisdictions, encouraging them to properly define the PIE categories in the expanded definition and adding any other categories relevant to their environments.
- Introduce a transparency requirement for firms to publicly disclose the application of independence requirements for PIEs where they have done so.
The PIE revisions become effective for audits of financial statements for periods beginning on or after 15 December 2024. Early adoption is permitted and encouraged.

- Auditors, Independent Reviewers and Accountants should be aware of the latest publications and guidance issued by regulators and standard-setting boards, such as the IRBA and IESBA.
- The definitions of Listed Entity and Public Interest Entity will determine which sections of the IESBA Code must be applied by auditors and accountants.
