Communications with Law Firms - AASB
Date recorded:
At its meeting on October 14, 2015, the AASB approved a revised “Joint Policy Statement Concerning Communications with Law Firms Regarding Claims and Possible Claims in Connection with the Preparation and Audit of Financial Statements” appended to CAS 501, Audit Evidence — Specific Considerations for Selected Items, as well as conforming amendments to CAS 501.
The AASB concluded that changes made in finalizing the Joint Policy Statement were not significantly different from the proposals in the Exposure Draft and, therefore, no re-exposure is necessary.
The revisions will be effective for inquiry letters dated on or after December 1, 2016 and are expected to be reflected in an April 2016 Handbook update.
