IESBA ethics proposal on independence
14 Jul 2007
IFAC's International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) has issued an exposure draft proposing to strengthen three components of the independence requirements contained in the IFAC Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.
Those requirements relate to:
- Provision of internal audit services to an audit client;
- Independence implications related to the relative size of fees received from one assurance client; and
- Contingent fees for services provided to assurance clients.
