At its meeting on November 24-25, 2014, the AASB discussed issues related to the adoption in Canada of the revisions to the ISAs in respect of auditor reporting. The AASB debated (i) whether a phased-in approach for certain listed entities would be appropriate;(ii) whether the Canadian effective date should be later than that for the ISAs; (iii) how the approach to auditor reporting taken by other national standard setters, including the U.S. PCAOB and the Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards Board may affect the AASB’s decisions; and (iv) whether consultations dealing with specific important issues should be held with Canadian stakeholders to obtain views on how and when the revisions should be implemented in Canada.
