Revisions to ISA 315 – AASB

Date recorded:

At its meeting on December 2-3, 2019, the AASB approved the 2019 revisions to CAS 315, including the related conforming amendments to other standards. There were no changes made from a Canadian standpoint (i.e., there was no addition, modification, or deletion of a Canadian amendment) in finalizing the standard. Therefore, no re-exposure was necessary. The revised CAS 315 will be effective for audits of financial statements for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2021. Once the AASOC confirms that the AASB has followed due process with proper regard for the public interest, the AASB expects that the 2019 revisions to CAS 315 will be included in a CPA Canada Handbook – Assurance update in May 2020.
