Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) has hosted a delegation from the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) for important discussions regarding ethical issues associated with rapidly evolving sustainability standards, firm culture and governance, and ethical considerations in tax planning and related services.

The IESBA is the global standard setter for ethics in the accounting profession and sets the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the IESBA Code). Our local codes are based off the international code.

Chair of the IESBA, Gabriela Figueiredo Dias sat down with Small Firm, Big Impact to explain why she’s in Australia, IESBA’s focus areas over the next four years and how it’ll impact you. Gabriela outlines what firms and professional accountants should be focused on in the ethics space.
