Guidelines for the Recognised Accountancy Bodies when performing the Quality Assurance function in respect of Statutory Auditors and Audit Firms

The purpose of this document is to set out guidelines for the RABs to apply to their quality assurance system.

These guidelines are not intended to replace or override any legislative provisions. They should be read in conjunction with the Companies Act 2014 (the Act), Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 and any section 931 notice, rule or other guideline that IAASA may issue.

Nothing in these guidelines may be construed so as to constrain IAASA from taking action, where it deems it to be appropriate, in respect of a RAB’s organisation of its quality assurance system.

The guidelines are available at the following link:
