Simplifying auditing standards for small or non-complex entities

59 participants joined us on 30 May 2018 to discuss our thought-provoking publication exploring solutions to help the IAASB find an efficient way to deal with standards for small or non-complex entity audits.

Confidence in smaller companies’ performance benefits us all. As the difficulties of applying the ISAs in small or non-complex entity audits become more apparent, the status quo is not an option. We aimed to open the debate for all stakeholders to work towards a solution on this strategic issue.
