Section 11.21 - Independence

A licensee may not perform an attest activity for an enterprise in a manner to imply that he is acting as an independent public accountant with respect thereto unless he is independent with respect to the enterprise.

Examples of standard-setting bodies include the AICPA, PCAOB, SEC, General Accounting Office and Department of Labor.
