Our role as an improvement regulator is to act in the public interest and to strengthen consumer confidence by enabling, evaluating and enforcing the high standards expected of ICAEW Chartered Accountants and those we regulate.
ICAEW’s regulatory and conduct roles are separated from ICAEW’s other activities through internal governance so that we can monitor, support or take steps to ensure change if standards are not met. These roles are carried out by the Professional Standards Department (PSD) and overseen by the ICAEW Regulatory Board (IRB).
