IFAC released the latest installment of its Exploring the IESBA Code educational series: The Conceptual Framework–Step 2, Evaluating Threats.
Exploring the IESBA Code is a twelve-month series providing an in-depth look at the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (the Code). Each installment focuses on a specific aspect of the Code using real-world situations in a manner that is relatable and practical. Readers will gain a better understanding of the thought process behind important aspects of the Code through storytelling and expert analysis from professionals involved in developing the standards.
The first installment of the Series looked at the Code’s five Fundamental Principles, which establish the standard of behavior expected of all professional accountants. The second installment highlighted the Code’s Conceptual Framework with a focus on identifying threats, while this third installment focuses on how to evaluate those identified threats.
A professional accountant can often come across complex or challenging situations that are not black and white. These challenging situations require ethical considerations, some of which are expressly dealt with in the Code. The unique and informational series was developed by IFAC in collaboration with the IESBA to help explain how the Code assists in navigating some of these challenges.
