Download Baker Tilly's code of business conduct (PDF - 611kb)

Baker Tilly is a leading professional services firm which provides a range of accounting and advisory services to a broad spectrum of clients, from public companies to owner-managed businesses.

This ‘code of business conduct’ summarises our approach to legal, regulatory and business matters, and also outlines our commitments to our people, the environment and our community.

Four values are central to the way we behave towards our clients and each other:

• passion to excel
• ‘can do’ attitude
• teamwork
• respect and integrity.

Working with our clients

Regulation and compliance

Baker Tilly’s conduct of business is governed by statutory requirements, professional standards and other external rules and regulations. Baker Tilly expects its people to comply with these statutory requirements, standards and regulations in the course of all their work.

Professional ethics

Everyone at Baker Tilly is trained in professional ethics and is required to conduct themselves and their work in accordance with the firm’s ethical policies. These cover Baker Tilly’s commitment to fundamental ethical principles. We also have in place systems to identify conflicts of interest and guidance on how to manage these if they should arise.

These policies reflect the Auditing Practices Board (APB) Ethical Standards for Auditors and Ethical Standards for Reporting Accountants, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) Code of Ethics, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) Code of Ethics and, in the case of our people who are members of any other professional bodies, guidelines published by those bodies.

As regulation of the accountancy profession requires, we have appointed an Ethics Partner with whom any matter of professional ethics can be raised. Furthermore, the National Management Team has set up an Ethics Panel to act as custodians of the firm’s ethical policies and to be responsible for communicating those policies.
