A&A TODAY: PRESENTED BY THE WSCPA AND GALASSO LEARNING SOLUTIONS

The AICPA's Professional Ethics Executive Committee (PEEC) has proposed a new definition of publicly traded company and has revised the definition of public interest entity as part of their IESBA convergence. The definition explains when AICPA independence standards would apply and when related ethics standards like PCAOB and NAIC standards would apply. Comments are due September 15.

Do you agree with the revised changes?
