An Auditor’s Guide to the Latest Risks & Hotspots to Avoid

Introduction

There has been a lot in the professional press recently about audit work being deficient and various firms being sanctioned by regulators for failing to carry out audit work in compliance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and other regulatory requirements.

With larger firms shedding audit clients as they respond to the changing auditing profession, it is likely more smaller firms will be looking at taking these clients on.
