IRBA released their brand new 2021 Public Inspections Report which reveals recurring quality deficiency themes identified in the 3rd and final year of their 7th Inspections Cycle.
Registered auditors must apply the contents of the latest IRBA Inspections Report in their practice and quality control processes. All attest and assurance staff must stay informed about mistakes made by other practices that have been inspected by IRBA, and take measures to prevent the identified deficiencies within their own practice.
