Annual Audit Update: Focus on Recent ISA Amendments
Presenters : Lettie Janse van Vuuren CA(SA)
Overview
The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) recognizes that the landscape of auditing and assurance is ever-evolving. As a result, the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) are subject to regular updates and replacements to ensure an ongoing enhancement of audit quality.
Concurrently, the International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) is also a dynamic framework that continues to evolve to meet the changing demands of the profession and maintain high standards of quality in audit engagements (ISQM 1 and ISQM 2 are recent changes). Some of the IAASB's other projects include:
-
ISA 500 (Revised) - Audit Evidence
-
ISA for Audit of Financial Statements of Less Complex Entities
-
ISA 240 - The Auditor’s Responsibilities Relating to Fraud in an Audit of Financial Statements
-
ISA 570 (Revised) - Going Concern
Join Lettie Janse van Vuuren for this session where you get the opportunity to enhance your knowledge and stay abreast of evolving standards, equipping you to perform audits with greater confidence and proficiency.
