Quarterly ISQM1 Oversight for Auditors: Evidence Active Quality Management - Webinar

Introduction

Effective evidence of active quality management is critical: the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) emphasises that firms must maintain up-to-date documentation showing the operation of quality management systems throughout the year, not just at year-end. Recent inspections have highlighted that quarterly lapses in evidence collection are a common issue, which can result in findings during regulatory reviews.

This webinar will focus on ISQM1 requirements and provide practical guidance on how to evidence active quality management for the first quarter of the year. It will take you through the types of documentation and procedures you should have on file for January, February, and March to demonstrate compliance.
