Description

The (IESBA) provides a framework for ethical conduct for all professional accountants, including those involved in tax practice. Tax professionals and practices have a responsibility to ensure clients comply with tax laws and regulations, avoiding both illegal tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance that may be seen as unethical. This webinar therefore focuses on the principles of integrity, objectivity, confidentiality and professional competence which are essential when advising clients on tax matters. By adhering to these ethical principles and frameworks, tax professionals can play a vital role in ensuring the integrity of the tax system and fostering trust with their clients.
