April 18, 2012 at 7:20 pm #96427I believe we can generalise an answer here! Ethical ssues are those which we can tie in to the ACCA’s code of ethics and involve those matters termed fundamental principles – eg competence, professional behaviour, confidentiality, objectivity, independence together with all the illustrative examples of threats to independence.
Practice management issues are those which relate to the practical running / management of a firm of auditors / accountants and are not necessarily related directly to ethical concerns

thanks for this- provides more focus,
What about when a question asks to identify professional issues?
thanks
