BACKGROUND INFORMATION

This online session will focus on key regulatory and ethical requirements applicable to audit practitioners, including Public Interest Entity (PIE) auditors. The session is being organised in response to common shortcomings identified during regulatory inspections and aims to provide practical guidance to help practitioners strengthen compliance with independence, ethical, and documentation requirements.

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

This session will provide valuable practical insight into the regulatory and ethical requirements expected of audit practitioners, including PIE auditors, with a focus on common deficiencies identified during inspections and how these can be addressed effectively. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of independence requirements, documentation expectations, and prohibited non-assurance services, together with practical guidance to strengthen compliance within their firms. The session will be beneficial for both members and non-members seeking to enhance audit quality, reinforce ethical compliance, and remain up to date with evolving regulatory expectations.

Target Audience

Audit practitioners, statutory auditors, audit firms, compliance professionals, quality management personnel, and individuals involved in audit quality and ethics oversight, including those working with PIE audit engagements.
