(New York, New York, January 09, 2025)

Professional accountants in business (PAIBs) play a crucial role in advancing sustainable business practices, promoting transparency, and enhancing the economic and social prosperity of communities across the globe. 

In its final meeting of 2024, IFAC’s PAIB Advisory Group explored the transformative role of PAIBs in tackling global challenges and seizing new opportunities to strengthen the role of accountants in driving business success and resilience. Discussions focused on navigating systemic risks, fostering innovation, and advancing sustainability to position PAIBs as key enablers of transformational change. 

Key themes included: 

  • Embracing AI for Innovation: Generative AI is revolutionizing the work of PAIBs. A case study on internal audit highlighted its use, saving time and enhancing strategic insights. 
  • Driving Climate Resilience: PAIBs are crucial in improving sustainability information and disclosure and mobilizing investments to support low-carbon transitions. 
  • Integrated Thinking and Decision-Making: Breaking silos to enable holistic decision-making and creating long-term value requires integrated thinking capabilities which can vary by career stage or role. 
  • Supply Chain Management and Procurement: PAIBs can partner with procurement, operations, and compliance teams to achieve ethical and sustainable procurement and supply chain management practices. 
Sanjay Rughani, PAIB Chair, said: “In this era of transformation, professional accountants are uniquely positioned to drive change and create value across organizations. By embracing innovation and integrated thinking, PAIBs can lead the way in shaping a resilient, sustainable future.” 


IFAC remains committed to equipping PAIBs with the tools and resources to thrive in a dynamic global landscape. The next PAIB Advisory Group meeting will take place in April 2025 in Tokyo, hosted by the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (JICPA).

New Report from International Federation of Accountants, ICAEW, and Basel Institute on Governance Urges Accountants in Business to Continue to Lead Anti-Corruption Actions

(New York, London, and Basel, Switzerland, July 03, 2024)

The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), and the Basel Institute on Governance have published a new, joint report, Integrated Mindset in Practice: Professional Accountants in Business and Anti-Corruption Compliance. It offers practical guidance and actionable strategies to approach anti-corruption initiatives with an integrated mindset, resulting in long-term value creation.

The approach of an “integrated mindset”, as highlighted in the report, encourages company leadership to view financial and sustainability data in an interconnected, holistic way. Integrated Mindset in Practice provides guidance for companies—particularly professional accountants working in business—to apply this integrated approach to anti-corruption oversight and programs. The report underscores the crucial role of governance in environmental, social, and governance (ESG), emphasizing a commitment to an ethical culture of integrity and highlighting red flags for the accountants during their risk assessments.

The report underscores the crucial role of governance in environmental, social, and governance (ESG), emphasizing a commitment to an ethical culture of integrity and highlighting red flags for the accountants during their risk assessments.

Advocating for a “whole of business” approach to anti-corruption, the report calls on professional accountancy organizations to encourage their members to fully embrace their role combatting corruption by:

  1. Recognizing themselves as key anti-corruption stakeholders.
  2. Supporting integrated thinking across their organizations.
  3. Being champions of Collective Action.

Lee White, IFAC Chief Executive Officer: “The cost of corruption and financial crime are significant obstacles to economic prosperity and fairness in society. This report is a vital resource for professional accountants as business leaders to have an integrated mindset in continuing to respond to corruption and support economic prosperity.”

Alan Vallance, Chief Executive of ICAEW: “Professional accountants are uniquely positioned to influence and implement an integrated mindset within organizations. With these tools and insights, they will be able to embed anti-corruption measures into their organizations’ broader ESG framework, ensuring that integrity and transparency remain at the forefront of business practices.”

Vanessa Hans, Head of the Private Sector Division of the Basel Institute on Governance: “Importantly, this report encourages professional accountants to be champions of Collective Action as part of a “whole of business” approach to anti-corruption. Anti-corruption Collective Action brings business and stakeholders together to tackle the shared problem of corruptions. Accountants can play a crucial role in these efforts, driving initiatives that bring real change.

The report will be featured during “The CFO & Finance Function and Anti-Corruption: Cultivating an Integrated Mindset” webinar on July 9 at 13:00 UTC. Jointly hosted by IFACICAEW and the Basel Institute on Governance, the webinar is organized under the auspices of the B20 and in collaboration with the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) and Business at OECD (BIAC), as part of the 25th Anniversary of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention campaign. Visit the IFAC website for more details and to register.

 IFAC Identifies Key Areas Accountants Need to Update their Knowledge & Skills to Prepare for Increasing Sustainability Demands

The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) has released a new publication setting out four key areas where accountants need to update their knowledge to meet the growing demand for high-quality sustainability-related information. Equipping Professional Accountants for Sustainability: What's New and What Hasn't Changed speaks to the vital role accountants play in producing reliable sustainability-related data, reporting and assurance, as well as the importance of education and training in ensuring professional accountants are able to meet society’s needs.

Much of what accountants already do is transferable to sustainability; however, new topics and challenges require new ways of thinking and working. The framework aims to help professional accountants as well as professional accountancy organizations close any gaps between known and needed technical expertise, business acumen, behavioral competence, and ethics and professional values.

The publication was developed following previous sustainability and education research as part of work to revise the International Education Standards and with the support of the IFAC International Panel on Accountancy Education.

The publication is available on the IFAC website and complements IFAC's existing resources on sustainability, including webinars, podcasts, and publications, all of which are available on the IFAC Knowledge Gateway.

IESBA to Hold Interactive Webinars on the Proposed IESSA and Ethics Standards Relating to Sustainability Reporting and Using the Work of an External Expert

(New York, New York, February 07, 2024)

The IESBA is holding interactive global webinars to present the key proposals in the Exposure Drafts on International Ethics Standards for Sustainability Assurance (including International Independence Standards) (IESSA) and Other Revisions to the Code Relating to Sustainability Assurance and Reporting and Using the Work of an External Expert.

The Exposure Draft on IESSA and ethics standards for sustainability reporting proposes a clear framework of expected behaviors and ethics provisions for use by all sustainability assurance practitioners, regardless of their professional backgrounds, as well as professional accountants involved in sustainability reporting. The goal of these standards is to mitigate greenwashing and elevate the quality of sustainability information, thereby fostering greater public and institutional trust in sustainability reporting and assurance.

The Exposure Draft on Using the Work of an External Expert proposes an ethical framework to guide professional accountants or sustainability assurance practitioners, as applicable, in evaluating whether an external expert has the necessary competence, capabilities, and objectivity in order to use that expert’s work for the intended purposes. The proposals also include provisions to aid in applying the Code’s conceptual framework when using the work of an external expert.

These proposed ethics (including independence) standards are especially relevant in a context where sustainability information is increasingly important for capital markets, consumers, corporations and their employees, governments and society at large, and when assurance providers outside of the accounting profession play a prominent role in sustainability assurance.

The webinars will provide useful information and valuable insight on the proposals in the Exposure Drafts for participants from all stakeholder groups, including regulators, preparers of sustainability information, sustainability assurance practitioners from all backgrounds, and investors.

IFAC Announces Plan to Revise International Education Standards for Sustainability Reporting and Assurance

(New York, New York, December 11, 2023)

The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) today announced plans to revise the International Education Standards (IES) to bring greater focus to sustainability reporting and assurance competence and recognize the evolving role of professional accountants in this important area. IFAC anticipates launching a public consultation on proposed revisions to the standards in March 2024, marking a significant milestone for the global accountancy profession’s journey to advance sustainability disclosure standards that respond to the needs of investors and other stakeholders.

Extensive stakeholder outreach and research made it clear that while professional accountants’ skills and training are transferable to sustainability reporting and assurance, there’s a need for a focus on sustainability in the IES. The planned revisions will address this, including revised and new learning outcomes needed for professional development programs to best prepare future and current professional accountants for the increasing demands for sustainability reporting and assurance.

As IFAC commits to revising the IESs, in partnership with the IFAC International Panel on Accountancy Education, it encourages professional accountants to seize the opportunity to enhance their sustainability knowledge and expertise. IFAC CEO Kevin Dancey said, “As sustainability reporting and assurance become mainstream, professional accountants have a unique opportunity to lead and bring value. Professional accountants should begin their journey now to develop or enhance sustainability reporting and assurance abilities. It is imperative that we all commit to personal professional development, ensuring that we are ready to meet the moment with the competence and due care that define our profession.”

Professional accountancy organizations have crucial roles to play helping their members as they transition to increasing market demand for sustainability reporting and assurance. Collective action is needed at the global, regional and local levels to accelerate the pace at which existing knowledge is expanded upon. IFAC encourages its member organizations to enhance current learning requirements with respect to sustainability and to recognize those courses offered by others—including the IFRS Foundation's anticipated eLearning course, which may prove useful to PAOs to offer their members as it is designed to respond to market demand to begin implementing the inaugural IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, IFRS S1 and S2.

New Standard for Audits of Less Complex Entities Issued by IAASB

Standalone Standard Is Proportionate, Tailored, Easier to Navigate

(New York, New York, December 06, 2023)

The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) today published the International Standard on Auditing for Audits of Financial Statements of Less Complex Entities, known as the ISA for LCE. The ISA for LCE is a standalone global auditing standard designed specifically for smaller and less complex businesses and organizations. Built on the foundation of the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), audits performed using this standard provide the same level of assurance for eligible audits: reasonable assurance. The standard is effective for audits beginning on or after December 15, 2025 for jurisdictions that adopt or permit its use.

“The ISA for LCE underscores the IAASB’s commitment to ensuring the credibility and reliability of financial reporting for entities of all sizes. By leveraging the International Standards on Auditing as our starting point, we are cultivating an environment where audits are performed in a globally consistent and high-quality way for the smallest entities. The IAASB’s actions seek to inspire greater confidence and contribute to the overall stability and trustworthiness of information in the external reporting ecosystem. We have also heard that this standard should provide an impetus for the evolution of auditing in developing economies,” said IAASB Chair Tom Seidenstein. “We now turn to each jurisdiction and their oversight authorities and regulators to decide whether to adopt the standard. We encourage practitioners and others to reach out to the authorities in their jurisdictions to advocate for the ISA for LCE’s adoption.”

Released alongside the ISA for LCE are a Basis for Conclusions, which details feedback from the public consultation period, a high-level fact sheet, and a frequently asked questions document. Additional materials to help jurisdictions navigate adoption will be issued in 2024, including supplementary guidance, a fact sheet on adoption, and a first-time implementation guide. All materials can be accessed on the IAASB website: iaasb.org/ISAforLCE
