CASL introduces code of ethics

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CASL) recently launched the 2014 edition of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants in its continuing efforts to ensure that Chartered Accountants complied with the highest standards of professional ethics.

The revised publication was developed considering the relevant developments to ethical practices worldwide and emerging matters specific to Sri Lanka.

Dr. Harsha Cabral, PC, commended Chartered Accountants for being one of the few professionals who understood the importance of ethics, while also congratulating CASL for ensuring that its professionals maintained standards while in practice.

"This is one profession in particular which maintains discipline, and you have to be congratulated for this. Most other professions don't even have a document like this to look at," he said.

Fed delays parts of Volcker rule until 2017

The US Federal Reserve has given Wall Street banks even more time to comply with parts of the Volcker Rule, a key provision of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform bill.

The rule prevents federally-insured banks from using their money when investing in certain risky assets.

The Fed had already informed that banks would have until 2017 to deal with one type of trading product.

It will now grant an extension to other types of funds.

Initially, the Fed had said banks would have until July 21, 2017 to stop trading in collateralised loan obligations, which essentially move the risk of investments in loans off their balance sheet.
