Overview   

IRBA released their brand new 2022 Public Inspections Report on 17 March 2023. The report which reveals recurring quality deficiency themes identified in the 1st year of their 8th Inspections Cycle, carries the theme: With a Commitment to Promote Improvement and Remediation of Audit Quality. 

Registered auditors (including independent reviewers) need to apply the contents of the latest IRBA Inspections Report in their practices as they make their quality control processes more robust. By knowing mistakes that were made by other practices, firms and their assurance staff take measures to prevent the occurrence of the identified deficiencies within their own practices.
