The ICAEW Insolvency Code of Ethics applies to all professional work relating to an insolvency appointment and to any work that may lead to such an appointment. The Code is based on the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) Code.
The Insolvency Code 2025 came into force on 1 October 2025. It has been updated to align with the main requirements contained within the 2024 IESBA Code, adopted by ICAEW on 1 July 2025. The revised Code also reflects the changes to the fundamental principle of professional behaviour within ICAEW's Code of Ethics, also introduced on 1 July.
