Revisions to ISA 315 - AASB
At its meeting on September 12-13, 2016, the AASB discussed issues related to the IAASB’s project to amend ISA 315 (Revised), Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement through Understanding the Entity and Its Environment, including: (i) the components of internal control relevant to the audit; (ii) assessment of the risk of material misstatement; and (iii) whether risks should be assessed on a “spectrum of risk”.
The AASB strongly supports this project and intends to setup an advisory group to assist staff and the AASB identify Canadian issues.
