Global Ethics Board Launches eCode; Takes Usability and Accessibility of Code of Ethics to Next Level
Jun 26, 2019
On June 26, 2019, the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) launched the eCode – a web-based tool that delivers the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (the Code) on a digital platform.
The eCode represents the outcome of a strategic initiative to leverage modern technologies, including mobile access, to make the content of the Code as widely accessible and visible and as user-friendly as possible. In addition to enhanced search and navigation, the eCode includes links to non-authoritative resources that provide contextual information or explain the rationale for particular provisions in the Code.
