Interpretation and Application of International Standards on AuditingSteven Collings

Recognising that auditing is not an exact science, and that in many cases an auditor is called upon to make a judgment in situations open to differing opinions, this book takes a practical and pragmatic approach to following International Standards on Auditing. Steven Collings looks at the full ISAs in their final form , as reissued following the IAASB ‘Clarity Project’, and gives auditors guidance on how to interpret and apply them to real life situations. Each redrafted or rewritten ISA is dealt with in a seperate chapter, containing case studies and illustrative examples. The book also covers the regulatory framework of auditing and gives a summary of the five ethical standards applicable to auditors, as mapped by the IAASB. Detailed appendices provide an overview of IFRS and IAS, illustrative financial statements.

“Steve Collings has written the definitive guide to the auditing standards. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It should be on the desk of all auditors.”- Clare Finch, author of A Student’s Guide to International Financial Reporting Standards

Reaching Key Financial Reporting DecisionsHow Directors and Auditors InteractStella Fearnley, Vivien Beattie, Tony Hines

The regulatory framework for financial reporting, auditing and governance has changed radically in recent years, as a result of problems identified from the Enron scandal and more recently from the drive to implement global standards. In a key regulatory change, a company audit committee is now expected to play a significant role in agreeing the contents of the financial statements and overseeing the activities of the auditors. Finance Directors, Audit Committee Chairs and Audit Engagement Partners are required to discuss and negotiate financial reporting and auditing issues, a significant process leading to the agreement of the published numbers and disclosures, and to the issuing of the auditor’s report which accompanies them, but which is entirely unobservable by third parties. Reaching Key Financial Reporting Decisions: How Directors and Auditors Interact is a fascinating, behind-the-scenes examination of this closed process.

The authors draw on the results of face to face interviews, and an extensive survey of finance directors, audit committee chairs and audit partners, and present nine company case studies highlighting the process of discussion and negotiation and the methods by which the agreed financial reporting outcome was reached. The unprecedented access and unique insights offered by this book make it invaluable for audit firm staff and partners, audit committee chairs and company directors involved in agreeing the published financial statements, as well as those who have an interest in the financial statements, but do not have access to the negotiation process.
