Genuine Learning Blog: Ethics Proposal: Tax Services

| , ,

The AICPA’s Professional Ethics Executive Committee (PEEC) is proposing changes to the tax services rules with respect to independence. As part of their IESBA convergence, the rules address the potential advocacy threats created by providing tax advisory services to attest clients. Comments are due by September 10, 2024.

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.
