(d) In paragraph 26 (corresponding to paragraph 26 of the ISAE 3400), the term “professionalstandards” has been changed to “professional pronouncements” since pronouncements wouldinclude standards as well as other relevant documents, such as Guidance Notes,announcement(s), issued by the ICAI.

(e) In line with requirement of SA 700, “The Auditor’s Report on Financial Statements” this SAErequires the auditor to include a scope section in the examination report to explain the natureand extent of the auditor’s work. ISAE 3400 does not contain an equivalent requirement.

• For audit engagements, independent auditor would have obtainedunderstanding of entity and its environment including internal control.

• For reviewing IFI he updates this understanding through inquiry &analytical procedures.

• Other practitioner does not ordinarily have the same level of understanding.• Need for different inquiries & procedures
