Against a backdrop of intense scrutiny of the accountancy profession and increased regulatory expectations, ICAEW plans an overhaul of current training requirements, including new compulsory ethics training.

The introduction of a compulsory ethics requirement means that members will have to complete mandatory training aligned to the ICAEW Code of Ethics each year. A new ethics learning programme is already in development and will be made freely available to members to make it easy for them to comply with this additional requirement.
