The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board is an independent standard-setting body that serves the public interest by setting high-quality international standards for auditing, assurance, and other related areas, and by facilitating their adoption and implementation. In doing so, the IAASB enhances the quality and consistency of practice throughout the world and strengthens public confidence in the global auditing and assurance profession.

Updated: Focus on Audit Quality
SPOTLIGHT ON:
In June 2018, the IAASB approved International Standard on Auditing 540 (Revised), Auditing Accounting Estimates and Related Disclosures as a final standard. The revised ISA will be effective for audits of financial reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and encouraged. To facilitate early adoption, the IAASB has published the text of ISA 540 (Revised) pending Public Interest Oversight Board’s confirmation that due process was followed. Subject to receiving the PIOB’s confirmation, the final standard is anticipated in October 2018. The IAASB has also published the text of the approved conforming and consequential amendments arising from ISA 540 (Revised).
Now Open: IAASB Strategy Survey
The IAASB’s strategy consultation process for 2020–2023 has begun with a stakeholder survey to identify key issues. Input from all stakeholders will inform a future consultation paper (expected in late 2018). The survey is also available in Spanish and French. Share your thoughts today! Open until July 24, 2018.
