Our values and standards of behaviour
Our ethical behaviour is fundamental to maintaining the ICAEW’s reputation.
ICAEW works to protect the public interest by making sure its firms, members, students and affiliates maintain the highest standards of professional competency and conduct. We are also able to draw on the experience of our members and our technical expertise to develop policy in the public interest, which benefits the economy and protects the integrity of the accountancy profession.
In the light of the coronavirus pandemic and Brexit there will be two Budgets in 2020 and further significant announcements related to the UK’s fiscal policy. Here we have collated ICAEW’s recommendations to the Chancellor and our experts' reactions to announcements.
Our policy recommendations to encourage greater transparency and accountability in public sector finance.
The role of professional accountants is fundamentally about creating trust. Trust that numbers are correctly stated and that a true and fair account has been produced, showing what money has been raised and how that money has been used.
