The future of international standard setting
Oct 21, 2019
On October 21, 2019, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) published a speech by Tom Seidenstein IAASB Chair to the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales’s Audit Conference.
In his speech, Mr. Seidenstein expresses that he firmly believes that auditors must play a critical role in ensuring trust in markets. He worries that trust is eroding in these institutions and in the way the economy works. It is his belief that that the IAASB, in conjunction with their many stakeholders, can and must play a role in enhancing and possibly restoring trust where it has eroded.
