IAASB and IESBA consultation on joint stakeholder survey to shape 2028-2031 strategies

The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) and the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) have launched a joint global stakeholder survey, marking the beginning of work toward their respective Strategies and Work Plans (SWPs) for 2028–2031 period. This survey seeks stakeholder input on key issues that will inform the development of separate IAASB and IESBA Consultation Papers, which are anticipated to be approved in late 2026 and issued for public consultation in 2027.

The survey is available to review on the IESBA’s website and is open until 15 May 2026.

IESBA consultation on stakeholder surveys for post-implementation reviews of NOCLAR Standard and the Restructured Code

The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) have launched two stakeholder surveys as part of its Post-Implementation Reviews (PIRs) of the provisions of the Code addressing Responding to Non-Compliance with Laws and Regulations (NOCLAR), and the Restructured Code. The surveys aim to assess whether the NOCLAR provisions and the Restructured Code are achieving their intended objectives by identifying benefits and implementation challenges, and to inform any actions the IESBA may need to take in response.

The surveys are available to review on the IESBA’s website and are open until 3 July 2026 (for the Restructured Code) and 30 July 2026 (for NOCLAR).
