IESBA to hold global webinars on its proposals to redefine a Public Interest Entity
The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) is holding two global webinars focused on its recently released Exposure Draft: Proposed Revisions to the Definitions of Listed Entity and Public Interest Entity in the Code (PIE ED).
Register and join us for one of the 60-minute webinars (both will cover the same information and are being offered to accommodate different time zones).
During the webinars, the PIE Task Force Chair, Mr. Mike Ashley, will explain the IESBA’s key proposals in the ED, including:
- The introduction of an overarching objective for additional independence requirements for audits of PIEs
- Approach to revising the PIE definition and the introduction of a new term “publicly traded entity” to replace “listed entity”
- Anticipated role of regulators, national standard setters and other relevant local bodies to refine the PIE definition as part of the adoption process
- Increased role of firms
