    Sir in the lecture u say that the ACCA Guidance doesnt have confidentially as a fundamental principle. But isnt ACCA rulebook based on IFAC’s code of ethics itself?

    I believe that the code is based on the IESBA (International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants) Rules rather than IFAC

    However, you are correct in that the 5 fundamental principles are:

    integrity
    objectivity
    competence and care
    confidentiality and
    professional behaviour

    I’m trying to remember why I left off confidentiality – maybe (and I don’t know for sure) at the time of the recording, the ACA rules themselves had missed it off

    No matter – it’s there now and thank you for pointing out the omission
