Enhancing the Public Interest

The PIOB´s purpose is to ensure that international standards in auditing and assurance, ethics and independence are responsive to the public interest and thereby enhance confidence in corporate reporting and in the services of professional accountants, auditors and other assurance providers.

We meet our purpose by complementing our Oversight and Nominations roles and with the following tools:

PIOB Cloud

An innovative search tool to access our library more easily.

Mind the gap series

Sustainability, opportunities, scale, legislation… many aspects of daily life generate gaps between people, organizations and countries. With Mind the Gap, a series created by PIOB, we are generating conversations about some of these topics to bring beyond expectations possible solutions for people and the planet.

PIOB Workshops

Carefully analyzing our reality from multiple points of view can be the beginning of change. The most qualified professionals gather at the PIOB Workshops to bring to light the discussions that are shaping the Public Interest.

PIOB Social Impact

The more professionals in our circle, the closer we will be to fulfilling our mission in the Public Interest. Follow us to participate in conversations and make our community grow in number and relevance.
