October 2017 |
The scope of Section 5815 has been amended to make it clear that it applies to engagements to provide an audit opinion as to a client's compliance with criteria established by provisions of agreements, statutes or regulations as well as to engagements to provide an audit opinion on management's evaluation of the client's compliance. The amendment also allows the practitioner to adapt the wording of the practitioner's report as necessary when undertaking an engagement to provide an audit opinion on management's evaluation of the client's compliance. This change is effective immediately. |
Per a Message from the AASB Chair dated July 2017, “In light of the possible confusion about the application of the existing Sections, we have decided to revise the scope of Sections 5815 and 8600 to make it clear that they apply to all compliance reporting engagements. Our change will also allow the practitioner to adapt the wording of the practitioner’s report as necessary when undertaking an attestation compliance reporting engagement. For example, the revised scope would make it clear that Section 5815 may be used when reporting in accordance with National Instrument 81-102.” |
