On March 12, 2009, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA), along with their respective Consultative Advisory Groups (CAGs), will host a seminar on the global credit crisis in cooperation with the Dubai International Financial Centre.
The seminar will address how the global profession is addressing some issues related to the global credit crisis and highlight recent developments in international standard-setting in the areas of audit, assurance and ethics. Professional accountants working in public practice, business, the public sector, or academia are invited to attend.
The program will include presentations on oversight in the public interest and the importance of international convergence. It will also feature a panel discussion with CAG representatives addressing fair value accounting in the current crisis, ethics and corporate governance.
