Group Audits – AASB
Date recorded:
At its meeting on September 9-10, 2019, the AASB provided input to the IAASB members from Canada on issues related to the IAASB’s project to revise ISA 600. The Board discussed:
- using the “consolidation process” as a basis for determining whether an entity or business unit is a component;
- including a requirement for the group engagement partner to review the overall audit strategy;
- the importance of aggregation risk;
- component materiality; and
- various access issues at the component level related to people and information.
The AASB will continue to discuss this project at future meetings.
