While the IAASA Ethical Standards (Ireland) have been with us for some time now, there has recently been a major update to them. Auditors need to keep up to date with the fundamentals along with the changes introduced. The ongoing flood of challenges facing auditors never seems to end, including those relating to independence and ethical matters. It is essential that auditors now focus on optimising their processes and procedures to ensure profitable implementation of the updated Ethical Standards.
