Interested Canadian CPAs are encouraged to apply for the position of IESBA chair. The deadline is April 30, 2021. The IESBA sets high-quality, internationally appropriate ethics standards for professional accountants, including auditor independence requirements.

The IESBA chair is a full-time executive position. The chair is appointed for an initial three-year term, commencing January 1, 2022 and could be re-appointed for a total tenure of nine years. Relocation is not required for this role. However, candidates are expected to have a robust plan for how they would lead the IESBA and staff from a remote location.
