CPAB auditor’s responsibilities related to fraud project
Feb 06, 2020
On February 6, 2020, the Canadian Public Accountability Board (CPAB) released an overview of a project it launched in 2019 to evaluate how auditors are complying with Canadian Auditing Standards and to identify what actions can be taken by all relevant stakeholders to better prevent and detect corporate fraud.
There has been a brighter spotlight on fraud recently in the wake of high-profile corporate failures. A focus internationally has been on how far an auditor’s responsibility extends in detecting fraud in an audit of the financial statements.
Review the overview on the CPAB's website.
