Chartered Accountants Ireland is currently reviewing the Disciplinary Regulations with a view to identifying and implementing enhancements to improve the overall efficiency, efficacy and fairness of the disciplinary process.
The objective of the disciplinary process is to promote adherence to the highest possible standards of professional and business conduct, efficacy and competency by members, member firms, students and affiliates by providing an efficient, effective and fair system for:
- dealing with complaints and conducting investigations of disciplinary matters; and
- taking disciplinary action, where appropriate.
As part of this review we are inviting comments, suggestions and feedback from stakeholders. Submissions received prior to 12 September 2022 will be used to inform the development of proposals for further consideration by the Professional Standards Board, the Council and oversight bodies including IAASA and the FRC in due course.
The existing Disciplinary Regulations and associated guidance are available by clicking on the links.
