Project Timeline

Please note that forecasted milestones are targets and are subject to change.

Current Status of the Project

In quarter 3 of 2020, the IAASB completed its activities to support the first-time implementation of ISA 540 (Revised).

The IAASB expects the ISA 540 (Revised) PIR activities to commence in quarter 1 or 2 of 2023, subject to competing priorities amid the pandemic. The findings from the PIR activities may result in further  information gathering and research activities, or a project or other workstream activity for the IAASB depending on the findings from the review and the IAASB’s consideration of recommendations.
