The Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board (APESB) today released a new smartphone and tablet app that will make it easier for professional accountants and other stakeholders to access APESB’s professional and ethical standards.
APESB is the first accounting standards setting body in Australia to develop an app for accessing its standards and one of only a handful worldwide.
The app is available for Apple, Android, and Windows devices and is now available free from the respective App Stores.
Chair of the APESB, The Honorable Ms Nicola Roxon says the app is an important development for the accounting and finance sector and recognition by the Board of the need for professional accountants and accounting students to gain access to information from mobile devices.
“We are pleased be able to provide a tool that allows our stakeholders to interact more readily with APESB standards and we believe this app will help promote the use of our standards by professionals in their day to day work.”
“One of the big advantages of the app is that once the standards are downloaded to your mobile device you can access them without internet access” said Ms Roxon.
APESB has recently launched a new responsive website www.apesb.org.au and the app is dynamically linked to the website. This means that any updates to the website are automatically reflected on the app.
The app is easy to use and features include a search function, ability to register for APESB updates and to attend APESB’s public Board meetings. Stakeholders can download the app by selecting the applicable app store below.
