ISCA Issues Ethics Pronouncement 100 Implementation Guidance 3 (EP 100 IG 3) Frequently Asked Questions on Responding to Non-Compliance with Laws and Regulations

EP 100 IG 3 provides guidance to address the concerns that professional accountants may face when adopting the NOCLAR Pronouncement in EP 100, which is expected to be effective as of 1 April 2020.

  • the legal protection available to whistle-blowers; and
  • the disclosure of NOCLAR to an appropriate authority with respect to group audit.
