The Ethics Webinar Series (IESBA Code)
The relationship between the accountant and their client is one that is based on utmost trust. This is true for most business relationships but very important in accounting where the relationship involves dealing with people's livelihoods in the form of their money, income and assets.
In order to maintain this trust, every accountant must be a highly ethical individual who follows specific ethical guidelines. To this end, the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), in collaboration with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA), has developed a publication series titled Exploring the IESBA Code. The series is intended to promote awareness, adoption and implementation of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards).
Our technical expert, Lettie Janse van Vuuren CA(SA), is presenting a webinar series where she unpacks IFAC's publication series into easy-to-understand pieces with practical examples and a focus on South African requirements.
