Published: Nov 21, 2025
The TXCPA Professional Standards Committee sent comments supporting PEEC’s revised Tax Services interpretation. The updated proposal replaces the MLTN threshold with a more flexible, principles-based approach.
The TXCPA Professional Standards Committee sent feedback to the AICPA’s Professional Ethics Executive Committee (PEEC) on its revised Tax Services interpretation - part of PEEC’s broader effort to align U.S. ethics guidance with IESBA standards. The updated proposal removes the earlier “more likely than not” threshold in favor of a principles-based framework that better balances service to attest clients with the need to maintain independence. The PSC strongly supports PEEC’s decision to revise the original proposal.
