THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
AUDIT QUALITY ASSURANCE WORKSHOP
Theme: Audit Quality: A Globally Sustainable Approach
Date: 20th – 21st February 2020
VENUE: Golf Hotel, Kakamega
Brief
The audit practice continues to face challenges arising from either the expectation gap or the perception about quality of audit work. The responsibility for performing quality audits of financial statements rests with auditors. However, audit quality is best achieved in an environment where there is support from, and appropriate interactions among, participants in the financial reporting supply chain.
The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board promulgates standards whose objective is to ensure that auditors perform quality audits whose goal is public interest. To promote awareness and understanding of the ISAs, the IAASB has released a second series of ISA modules, focusing on some of the new and more significantly revised ISAs. These modules cover ISAs that address materiality in planning and performing an audit of financial statements, the evaluation of identified misstatements, written representations, using the work of an auditor’s expert, and auditor reporting.
The workshop is aimed at reminding members of their primary objective to establish an environment that promotes quality audits while also ensuring that they remain competent to address changes in the environment which requires dynamism when auditing. It is also expected that the course will discuss the need for a convergence between stakeholders to influence quality of audits and shall include the role of ICPAK in ensuring compliance through quality reviews.
