CAS 600, Special Considerations — Audits of Group Financial Statements (including the Work of Component Auditors)
|
Effective date: |
Effective for audits of financial statements for periods ending on or after December 14, 2010 |
Overview
The Canadian Auditing Standards (CASs) apply to group audits. CAS 600, Special Considerations — Audits of Group Financial Statements (including the Work of Component Auditors) deals with the special considerations that apply to group audits, in particular those that involve component auditors. An auditor may also find CAS 600, adapted as necessary in the circumstances, useful when that auditor involves other auditors in the audit of financial statements that are not group financial statements. For example, an auditor may involve another auditor to observe the inventory count or inspect physical fixed assets at a remote location.
