Genuine Learning Blog – Ethics Proposal: Public Interest Entities

| , ,

The AICPA’s Professional Ethics Executive Committee (PEEC) has proposed a new definition of publicly traded company and has revised the definition of public interest entity as part of their IESBA convergence. The definition explains when AICPA independence standards would apply and when related ethics standards like PCAOB and NAIC standards would apply. Comments are due September 15.

SCACPA is excited to partner with Galasso Learning Solutions and the Genuine Learning Blog for real-time A&A updates and answers for SCACPA members.
