ISQC1 SERVICES

In accordance with International Standard on Quality Control 1 (ISQC1), it is the objective of the firm to establish and maintain a system of Quality Control to provide it with reasonable assurance that:

  • The firm and its personnel comply with professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements; and
  • Reports issued by the firm or engagement partners are appropriate in the circumstances.
Through our experience, knowledge and practical application of ISQC 1 over the years, we can offer to Auditing and Accounting Practices the following services in order to ensure that they comply with the requirements of ISQC 1.


ANNUAL COMPLIANCE REVIEW OF ISQC1

Review of existing policies and procedures and ISQC 1 Manual in relation to the following areas:
  • Leadership Responsibilities for Quality within the Practice.
  • Relevant Ethical Requirements.
  • Acceptance and Continuance of Client Relationships and Specific Engagements.

  • Engagement Performance.
  • Monitoring.

FILE REVIEWS AND OTHER SERVICES
Through our experience and expertise in the audit of Practices within a wide spectrum of industries and characteristics, including PIEs (Public Interest Entities), and subject to our independence requirements, we can provide the following services:

Audit File Cold Review
A cold file review takes place when the Auditor’s report is signed-off. The purpose of this review is to detect weaknesses in the quality control policies and procedures of the Practice and to take corrective actions. Through our expertise in this area we can assist our clients to comply with relevant auditing standards through the identification of the weaknesses in the way the whole audit work is conducted and how it can be improved through our recommendations for other similar assignments. External Cold File Reviews are compulsory for sole practitioners in order to comply with ISQC 1.

Audit File Hot Review
A hot file review takes place during the audit but before the Auditor’s report is issued and is one of the most significant safeguards against the threats of Auditor’s objectivity and independence. The purpose of this detailed review is to identify any weaknesses in the application of audit procedures, to evaluate the judgements made and conclusions reached by the engagement team and to ensure that the Auditor’s opinion is appropriate.

Engagement Quality Control Review
An Engagement Quality Control Review (EQCR) is a process designed to provide an objective evaluation, on or before the date of the audit report, of the significant judgments the engagement team made and the conclusions it reached in formulating the report. The EQCR process is compulsory for audits of financial statements of PIEs (Public Interest Entities) and for other engagements, for which the Practice has determined that an Engagement Quality Control Review is required.
