In which one of the following situations is the duty of confidentiality most likely to be breached?
A When information is required to be disclosed by law.
B When information is disclosed in response to a formal investigation by CPA Australia.
C If the accountant obtains authorisation from the client before disclosing the information.
D If information is disclosed after the accountant has resigned from their position with the employer.
Option A, B and C are incorrect because they are not breaches of confidentiality as they are identified in section 140.7. Options A is addressed in 140.7(b) and C in 140.7(a). Option B is linked to 140.7(c)(ii). The following are the circumstances listed in s. 140.7 in which disclosure of confidential information may be appropriate:
(a) Disclosure is permitted by law and is authorised by the client or the employer;
(b) Disclosure is required by law, for example:
(i) Production of documents or other provision of evidence in the course of legal proceedings; or
(ii) Disclosure to the appropriate public authorities of infringements of the law that come to light; and
(c) There is a professional duty or right to disclose, when not prohibited by law:
(i) To comply with the quality review of a member body or Professional Body;
(ii) To respond to an inquiry or investigation by a member body or regulatory body;
(iii) To protect the professional interests of a Member in legal proceedings; or
(iv) To comply with technical and professional standards, including ethical requirements. Under AUST140.7.1, members considering disclosing confidential information without consent are strongly advised to first obtain legal advice.
