New Auditor Reporting - AASB
At its meeting on October 17-18, 2016, the AASB discussed issues related to the adoption of auditor reporting standards in Canada. The AASB considered the appropriate timing for approval of the standards in relation to the expected timing for the finalization of the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s auditor reporting proposals. The AASB also discussed different options for the application of the new standards for entities listed with exchanges other than the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The AASB reviewed a draft message from the Chair to update stakeholders on the progress of the project. This message is expected to be released in late 2016.
