Ethics and technology - latest thinking from IESBA
As accountants increasingly innovate with data, AI and other technologies, is the profession’s ethics code fit for purpose in this new world?
The report makes a variety of recommendations, including the development of new material to provide more non-authoritative guidance on these issues, and further review of a range of issues.
