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 proposed and 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.
- The adoption / not of the ISA for LCE in South Africa is a dynamic topic at the moment. It is important that all practitioners understand the possible impact and practical considerations once the ISA for LCE is adopted as a pronouncement in SA.
