🌟 New Alert from #IESBA 🌟 This week, IESBA staff released a high-level summary of prohibitions in the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (#IESBACode), especially in relation to independence for audits of public interest entities (PIEs). The high-level summary is designed to highlight non-assurance services, relationships, interests, or circumstances that are prohibited for PIE audits and includes prohibitions resulting from several key projects completed to strengthen auditor independence over the past few years (i.e., Non Assurance Services (NAS), Fees, PIEs, Technology). It will be a useful reference to stakeholders, including regulators and audit oversight bodies, audit firms and individual audit practitioners, the corporate governance community, investors, preparers, and educational bodies or institutions.

🆕 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 (𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐬) - 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬! 📝 The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) has made significant revisions to the definitions of Listed Entities and Public Interest Entities (PIEs) in the Code. These changes aim to better align with global financial practices and improve audit quality. Here's a quick rundown: 𝑷𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒍𝒚 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝑬𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 📈 - The term "Listed Entity" has been replaced with "Publicly Traded Entity" to include entities whose financial instruments are traded on more platforms, including second-tier and over-the-counter markets. 𝑫𝒆𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒕-𝑻𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 & 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒓𝒔 🏦 - These entities, like banks and insurance companies, are now mandatory PIEs due to their critical role in the financial system. 𝑷𝒐𝒔𝒕-𝑬𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒚𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑩𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒕𝒔 & 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑽𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒔 🏥💰 - Although initially proposed, these categories have been removed from the mandatory list but may still be included by local bodies depending on jurisdiction. 𝑳𝒐𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑹𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 🌍 - Local bodies are encouraged to refine these definitions to suit their regional contexts, ensuring global applicability while maintaining local relevance. These updates reflect a more flexible and inclusive approach to defining PIEs, catering to the evolving global financial landscape. Stay tuned for more on how these changes might impact your practice! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/exAKvfN5 #Accounting #Audit #PIE #IESBA #Ethics #Finance #PublicInterest
