The December 2025 PEEC ethics release provides clarifying revisions related to engagements performed under the Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAEs). The updates clarify how independence interpretations apply to attest engagements that do not involve financial statements, introduce a new definition for the “period covered by the attest report,” and revise multiple ethics interpretations to align terminology and scope with SSAE engagements. These revisions are intended to improve consistency and applicability of ethical requirements across attestation services.
