Ethics Working Group

The GAA Ethics Working Group provides a coordinated forum for member bodies to engage with major international ethics and independence developments affecting the global accountancy profession. Its core aim is to ensure that GAA perspectives and those of the broader accounting profession are clearly represented in the work of international standard setters, particularly the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA), and that emerging ethics issues are considered through a practical, proportionate and globally informed lens.

GAA’s letter to IESBA

April 3, 2025

During its meeting in Edinburgh on March 27-28, 2025, the GAA Board had the opportunity to meet with the Chair of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants. Given the time constraints of that meeting, the GAA CEO wrote to the IESBA to provide more clarity on the GAA’s position.
