Description
Ethics Ruling No. 64 was developed to illustrate that a member's limited partnership investment in a nonclient limited partnership controlled by the same promoter and/or general partner as the member's audit (or other services requiring independence) client limited partnership would cause an impairment of independence under certain circumstances. Ruling No. 65 has been developed to advise members that under rule 101 of the AICPA Code of Professional Ethics the appearance of a member's independence would be considered to be impaired with respect to the foundation because of a member's service on the board of directors of an organization receiving funding from the foundation. Ruling No. 66 provides that the use of the CPA designation by a member who is not in public practice in a manner to imply that the member is independent of the employer will be considered a knowing mispresentation of fact. In Interpretation 101-9, the Ethics Executive Committee is proposing to limit the exception to professional employees not participating in the engagement. The revision of Interpretation 201-2 covers prospective financial information prepared for internal use only, partial presentations of prospective financial information and other matters not covered by that standard. Proposed Interpretation 201-4 states that the engagements with respect to which the General Standards of Rule 201 apply include the engagements described in the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements, the Statement on Standards for Accountants' Services on Prospective Financial Information, and certain Statements on Auditing Standards, which, while not applicable to audits of financial statements, are applicable to other types of engagements. The Professional Ethics Executive Committee proposes to delete from the Ethics Code Interpretation 502-2, Subsection 5, Testimonials and Endorsements. The Professional Ethics Executive Committee has concluded that the use of an account broker to facilitate the sale or a purchase of a practice would not be proscribed by Rule 503.
