Overview

The FRC and professional bodies rightly require auditors to be ethical with audits carried out to the highest of standards.

The ISAs – with objectives and requirements which must be obeyed help us achieve this. The revisions of ISA 200 and ISA 315 which are now in place are bedrock to quality audits. They also point to other revised standards.

This session covers the most critical demands of these ISAs and how the FRC guidance on making professional judgements may help.
