Answer 1

The AICPA is required to adopt ethics standards that are at least as restrictive as the IESBA rules.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

IESBA stands for the international ethics standards board for the accountants. As clear from the full form, this board performs the activities of setting up the ethics which the accountants need to follow while they are performing their work of making the accounts.
