International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) on January 21, 2020 issued two Exposure Drafts (EDs) for public comments on:

  • Proposed Revisions to the Non-Assurance Services Provisions of the Code
  • Proposed Revisions to the Fee-Related Provisions of the Code

The EDs are aimed at strengthening the non-assurance services and the fee-related independence provisions of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants. The EDs represent a key milestone in two major strategic commitments of the IESBA in its current strategy and work plan. The last date for submission of comments is May 4, 2020.
