Assurance on Integrated Reporting and other EER– AASB
At its meeting on June 7-8, 2021, the AASB discussed the way forward in Canada for applying the IAASB’s “Non-Authoritative Guidance on Applying ISAE 3000 (Revised) to Extended External Reporting (EER) Assurance Engagements.” The AASB decided to issue the IAASB non-authoritative guidance as AASB guidance. The non-authoritative guidance will be accompanied by a supporting document outlining the limited differences in applying Canadian Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000, Attestation Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information, compared to International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information. The supporting document, linking to the non-authoritative guidance, is expected to be issued in August 2021.
