Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

The Committee recognizes that specific threats to meeting the objectives of the fundamental principles may arise when providing professional services to clients and employers. Because it is impossible to address in the Code every situation that creates such threats and specify the appropriate safeguards to mitigate or eliminate those threats, the proposed Framework provides guidance to members when faced with making decisions on ethical matters that are not explicitly addressed by the Code. Under no circumstances, however, may the proposed Framework be used to justify noncompliance with the prohibitions or requirements contained in the rules, interpretations, and rulings in the …
