Complaints and Disclosures

IAAP members are required to uphold the standards and ethical principles set out in the IAAP Constitution, including the Code of Ethics. Members are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that maintains the integrity, reputation, and professional standing of the Association and the wider accountancy profession.

Members who fail to comply with these requirements, or whose actions bring IAAP into disrepute, may be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the Association’s rules and regulations.

IAAP’s disciplinary framework operates through a structured system of committees responsible for receiving and investigating complaints and referrals, considering disciplinary matters, and applying sanctions where appropriate.

Complaint Guidelines

A complaint may be made against a member in relation to matters of professional conduct, ethical standards, breaches of the IAAP Constitution, Articles, Bye-Laws, rules and regulations, or any act or omission that may bring discredit to the member, IAAP, or the accountancy profession.

If you wish to submit a complaint about an IAAP member, please refer to our Complaint Guidelines. These guidelines explain how IAAP assesses and manages complaints, including clarification of the types of matters that fall within our jurisdiction.

Please note that IAAP does not normally intervene in disputes relating solely to the level of fees charged, contractual or legal disputes, or business decisions made by a member, unless there is evidence of professional misconduct.
