If you are an ICB member or an interested member of the public and have a question about ICB’s Professional Conduct Regulations or any other matter relating to Professional Standards, please send us an email at professional.standards@bookkeepers.org.uk
"Professionals are expected by employers, clients and by the public to adopt a higher standard of conduct and behaviour in their professional life. It is that which underpins our value and the confidence the public has in us as professionals. These rules set out those basic principles of minimum conduct. However, ethics and professional conduct rules do more than that. The choices faced by a professional on a day to day basis are rarely black or white. Those choices are often made at a time when one is under pressure from a client or the clock. The professional rules help us judge our conduct by an objective benchmark at those difficult times. They provide us with a ready and polite reason for saying 'Sorry, I can't do that' when faced with pressure to stray across the line."
