- South African Accounting Academy
Comments are by due 24 August 2023.
These proposed revisions for International Standard on Auditing 570 (Revised), Going Concern, aim to:
- Promote consistent practice and behaviour and facilitate effective responses to identified risks of material misstatement related to going concern;
- Strengthen the auditor’s evaluation of management’s assessment of going concern, including reinforcing the importance, throughout the audit, of the appropriate exercise of professional skepticism; and
- Enhance transparency with respect to the auditor’s responsibilities and work related to going concern where appropriate, including strengthening communications and reporting requirements.

Relevance to Auditors, Independent Reviewers & Accountants:
- As an auditor and independent reviewer, you need to comply with International Standards on Auditing and other Assurance Services, and thus you need knowledge of newly revised standards that are approved as well as when they become effective.
- Failure to adhere to ISAs may be interpreted as negligence and you could be held liable.
- As an auditor and independent reviewer, you should be aware of proposed changes to existing standards issued by the standard-setting bodies, e.g. the IAASB.
