Understanding the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct Non-attest Service Rules: Interpretation 101-3 - Guidance on Independence and Competence
In September 2003, the AICPA's Professional Ethics Executive Committee (PEEC) issued new rules related to the performance of non-attest services (such as bookkeeping and tax) for an attest client. The revised non-attest service rules provide guidance on when it is and is not appropriate to provide non-attest services for attest clients.
