    I 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

    Hi Mike,

    thanks for this- provides more focus,

    What about when a question asks to identify professional issues?

    thanks

    Professional issues covers both ethics and practice management
