    A member body of IFAC or firm shall not apply less stringent standards

    than those stated

    in this Code.

    However, if a member body or firm is prohibited from complying with certain parts of

    this Code by law or regulation, they shall comply with all other parts of this Code.

    Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants:

    Introduction

    A distinguishing mark of the accountancy profession is its acceptance of theresponsibility to act in the public interest.

    Therefore, a professional accountant's responsibility is not exclusively t

    o satisfy the

    needs of an individual client or employer.

    In acting in the public interest, a professional accountant shall observe and comply

    with this Code of Ethics.

    This Code contains three parts:

    Part A establishes the fundamental principles of professional ethics for

    professional accountants and provides a conceptual framework for

    professional accountants.

    Parts B and Cdescribe how the conceptual framework applies in certain

    situations. They provide examples of safeguards that may be appropriate to

    address threats to compliance with the fundamental principles. Part Bapplies

    to professional accountants in public practice. Part C applies to professional

    accountants in business.

    Ethical Behavior

    Individuals

    Businesses

    Society

    Acting ethically can increase self-esteem, contentment, and

    self-respect.

    Companies that made commitments to an ethics code

    provided twice the value to shareholders than those that

    did not.

    Society is the sum of all social relationships between humans

    and is only as ethical as the individuals and business that

    make it up.
