Revisions to Audit Standards - ISA 570 Going Concern (ROI)

In response to calls to strengthen requirements following a number of high-profile enforcement cases and well-publicised corporate failures where the work of auditors has been brought into question, the Financial Reporting Council has revised its auditor standard on going concern - ISA (UK) 570.

In this session we will provide a detailed analysis of revisions to the FRC’s September 2019 standard on going concern, including:

• The revised objectives of the revised ISA (UK) 570
• Enhanced risk assessment procedures
• Evaluating and challenging management’s assessment
• Evaluating the sufficiency and appropriateness of audit evidence obtained
• Auditor reporting requirements
• Application to less complex entity audits
• Documentation requirements

Changes are effective for audits of financial statements with periods commencing on or after 15 December 2019, with earlier adoption permitted.
