It is not a new role for Nõmper – he was a member of the last board, which served from 2019 to 2022. Nõmper gave a number of reasons why he actively participates in the professional organization besides his already busy work as an auditor. “The expectations of society and legislators for auditors must be clear and take into account what the auditor can and cannot do based on the standards of our professional activity. By notifying the public, we can better meet the expectations placed on us and the reputation of the profession rises in society.”
Secondly, Nõmper noted that thanks to new developments, it is important for auditors to keep up with developments in their field and their range of services should broaden. “Auditors must become more than just providers of assurance that accounting information is correct and be providers of assurance as to the certainty of more types of information. In future, precise account will be kept on environmental, social and governance impacts, where auditors will also be called on to provide assurance. That makes our profession more important and attractive for the new generation as well,” said Nõmper.
