Overview  

International Standard on Auditing 220 (Revised), Quality Management for an Audit of Financial Statements, establishes the engagement-level responsibilities of the engagement partner and reinforces the importance of quality management within each individual audit engagement. 

ISA 220 (Revised) aligns with ISQM 1 and ISQM 2 and introduces a strengthened focus on leadership, professional scepticism, supervision, review and accountability at engagement level. It places clear responsibility on the engagement partner for managing and achieving quality throughout the audit. 

This webinar provides a structured walkthrough of ISA 220 (Revised), highlighting the major changes from the previous standard and explaining how engagement quality reviews (EQRs) contribute to achieving high-quality, compliant audit engagements. The session will also address documentation requirements, reviewer responsibilities and practical application challenges. 

Join Nestene Botha CA(SA) on 23 June 2026 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm as she unpacks ISA 220 (Revised), clarifies engagement partner responsibilities and explains how engagement quality reviews function within the broader quality management framework established by ISQM 1 and ISQM 2.
