More changes to auditors’ code of conduct

Two sets of draft amendments to the code of conduct for registered auditors have been released for comment, CompliNEWS contributor Pam Saxby reports. One seeks to align the code with amendments to the 2005 Auditing Profession Act with implications for the regulation of registered candidate auditors. Interested and affected parties have until 31 October 2019 to make input. The other amendments envisaged focus on the role and ‘mindset expectations’ of professional accountants in relation to the term ‘professional scepticism’. The deadline for comment has been set at 17 October 2019.
