AICPA Ethics: Simultaneous Employment Proposal
On December 16, 2024 the AICPA’s Professional Ethics Executive Committee (PEEC) issued proposed revisions related to simultaneous employment or association with an attest client. Key changes from this exposure draft include a new definition of being simultaneously employed or associated with the client, as well as the addition of a new exception to the rules for USERRA/compliance with employment laws. In addition, the proposed revised interpretation uses both a rules-based approach and a principles-based approach in making determinations regarding independence. Comments are due March 16, 2025.
