IESBA:
Save the dates! Four Round Tables on Sustainability

The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) is organising four round tables on the subject of sustainability in late March/early April 2023 (times not yet known):

  • 24 March 2023, Paris
  • 30 March 2023, Sydney
  • 3 April 2023, Singapore
  • 6 April 2023, New York

Selected stakeholders can take part. Expressions of interest are requested by 1 February 2023 by email to IESBA(at)ethicsboard.org.

Background

In June 2022, the IESBA decided to develop internationally applicable ethics and independence standards in plenty of time due to the great importance of ethical conduct in sustainability reporting and auditing. It views its Code of Ethics as a third pillar, alongside the standards of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB).

In December 2022, the IESBA formally approved two standard setting projects in this regard. The aim is to develop profession-agnostic ethical and independence standards for sustainability reporting and auditing and for the associated subject of “Use of Experts”.

The quality of the standards to be developed will also decisively depend on timely inputs from stakeholders. The round tables are designed to provide the forum for such contributions.
