About the IESBA’s Technology Initiatives 

The IESBA is progressing multiple technology workstreams in a coordinated manner. This includes:

On February 18, 2022, the IESBA released its Exposure Draft: Proposed Technology-related Revisions to the Code with a comment period until June 20, 2022.
• Fact finding to identify and assess the potential impact of technology on the behavior of professional accountants and the applicability of the Code in relation to ethics and independence.
• The development of technology-related thought leadership and other materials in relation to ethics and independence for professional accountants and the wider stakeholder community.
