all the relevant content at one place
write any notifications inbox for
YouTube
okay and uh like my video subscribe uh
to my channel as I've already decided
comment on my videos so that I can also
know and I can get to know the feedback
of you guys
uh today's video is on a new topic as
you can see on your screens
International auditing National
Standards Board iaasb that's what I have
selected for today
why have I selected this today because
in insightfully yours you know the
channel
my uh aspiration is not only to teach
you academically but to go beyond
academics okay so basically to
incorporate these aspects into the real
life as well and that is why uh today I
have brought in a topic which is
actually not
um taught as extensively
um in um schools and colleges right and
uh even in the professional world it's
not taught as in-depth as it should be I
believe
um but again
this uh is because
basically uh it doesn't carry a very uh
heavy marks weighted and that is why
it's not uh taught in depth as much but
yeah today I have brought in this topic
because I believe that
when you are um you know
working uh as a professional uh and uh
you decide uh to you know just uh
uh like uh you know um undertake a
professional course like uh being a CA
which is the most relevant I would say
here because it is concerned with
auditing and Assurance services
basically a statutory auditor is what a
CI does again uh other professions as
well like a CS or a CMA because then uh
you have the internal auditor concept
right and then there's the cost auditor
concept that is secretary audit so
everything is there it's all uh an
assimilation
okay a heads up before I start the
discussing of this topic this video uh I
have been uh you know recording in
English because this caters to a wider
audience
okay uh I intend to make this for a
bigger audience for a global audience
and that is why I'm recording this in
English if you want a Hindi or you know
version of this video you can let me
know through the comments and I'll
record it again in Hindi for you guys so
let's start off today
with uh International auditing and
Assurance Standards Board or the iaasb
now what exactly this word is it is a
standard setting board right it's an
independent standard setting body okay
it serves the public interest by setting
high quality International standards for
auditing quality control review other
assurance and related Services okay so
basically there are five key uh aspects
to this right
five key aspects are auditing quality
control review other assurance and such
related services
basically this is what iaasb has been
Incorporated for
now guys uh another important disclaimer
before I uh you know progress further
everything here which is uh available on
my screen it's available in the public
domain and it's all you know a property
of like iasb
okay I like I am not uh it's not my
objective to infringe on any copyright
or anything
so just disclaiming it just you know
heads on that this is the stuff uh that
I am discussing today it's all available
in public domain on their very website
iaasb.org right so it's all available in
the public domain I'm just uh you know
working you through quickly so that it
saves you a bit of your time
now uh the iasb it facilitates the
convergence of international and
National standards now International
standards as you can see from the name
itself it's the international auditing
restaurant status board and again
national standards because I am based in
India so the primary uh accounting you
know body which sets auditing standards
and accounting standards is the icai The
Institute of Chartered Carnage of India
and that's why you know
we are uh also you know trying to
converge uh with the the international
standards in fact we have already
achieved a lot of that because we have
brought about in as which is Indian
Accounting Standards right
uh to bring more Conformity uh and you
know to align it in a better way with
the international standards
keeping in mind uh the uh the aspects uh
related to the Indian scenarios the
Indian environment
okay now the iaasb this enhances the
equality and then for a uniformity of
practice throughout the world and change
this public confidence in the global
auditing and Assurance profession
basically how uh majorly by increasing
the comparability across Global
exchanges across Global stock policies
stock exchanges right
so basically
a company uh you know making having an
accounting information and it's based in
California USA there's another company
based in India without a company based
in Canada you know a fourth company
based uh perhaps in Africa so
if they were only to follow their
national standards on auditing
then it would be
incomparable
but now that iaasb was set up and you
know International standards were in
place
so a more globalized way of looking at
things
have started evolving
okay now you can go to the website and
look at all these
you know major
um
scenarios and aspects related to IA asp
then you you look at the uh the members
from uh sudden sign is the current
chairman
Josephine Jackson's device chair
and there are other members
no
then there's a history page you know a
history tab
uh
which tells us about when the iasb was
founded it was funded past 1978 and uh
previously known as International
auditing practices committee iapc
okay now
before 1991 they had standards
okay in 1991 the guidelines of iapc uh
were very codified as International
standards on auditing or is case
okay
and in 2002 the iapc was really
constituted as what is known today as
the international auditing and Assurance
Standards Board okay uh then they have
the terms of reference click on the tab
so the purpose the objective the various
pronouncements the membership okay
you can see the 18 members comprising
practitioners and non-practitioners
so there's the composition everything is
there the terms of office the meeting
procedures that you process which is to
be followed and as this consultative
Advisory Group

Kong SAR
India Japan Mexico New Zealand South
Africa Netherlands the United Kingdom
and United States of America as well as
the knowledge Federation all right so
basically this was an overview about
iaasb and let's move a step ahead and
understand these about these standards
and the pronouncements
okay
yep uh I move
here look at that oh I have kept these
tabs open
from early on
okay
okay it's loading again
so I just want to show you the latest
standard uh which is you know there
the latest uh standards which have been
made available by the iaasb
are available in the 2021 Handbook of
International Quality Control auditing
review other assurance and related
Services Finance
now this book was published on December
2nd 2022. roughly two months ago
I have kept this open uh in these tabs
now this book has been uh you know uh
made available in three volumes
so
this moment yeah
I just walk you through these because
these are important aspects I believe
and you should know a bit about these
now what these handbook uh you know what
what this latest edition of the handbook
includes so you know the international
standard on ordering Isa 315 so it
includes the device standards like these
IC 315 which is identifying assessing
the risk of maternal statement
okay and it in fact is a replacement
of the earlier device standard IFC 315
identifying and assessing the risks of
mentor misstatement to understanding The
Entity and it's a moment
other relevant standards are there now
there's one more thing which is written
here which is the following standards
which are not yet effective have been
included in backup volumes one two and
three sector 38 uh International
standard on quality management isqm one
quality management firms that perform
audits or reviews of financial
statements or other restaurants related
Services engagements
Etc
so now one thing which I wanted to let
you know this book was published on
December 2nd 2002 or rather the
standards were published right that's
why it is said effective immediately
which are not yet effective okay which
are not yet effective so as on that date
these standards which have been
mentioned below
have not been made effective
and I was uh so I clicked in that you
know I I tried to research about it
and I came to know that
uh just a moment uh
yeah so look at this the ice cream one
which uh was written in the very first
in a bullet point
this standard was not effective as on
that data is on December 2nd now the
standard will be effective from effect
you know December 15 2022. so basically
now this standard is applicable the
standard has been made effective okay as
on 31st January 2023 on the date I'm
recording this video
so this is uh the major Crux
of this and uh yeah I also wanted to
show you what exactly these handbooks uh
this this handbook consists of it's the
first volume so yeah it has everything
from
isqc International standard Zone quality
control then audit of historical
financial information which is in you
know isas
you know everything is there then
International auditing practice note is
there
uh then the new advice standards which
are not yet effective as on that date
but will be effective as I said uh you
know as I showed to you so this is isq
one ice cream 2 and other such uh
standards uh this was the first volume
and similarly two more volumes are there
so everything is available in the public
domain everything is available in their
website I've actually clicked on this
link the PDFs are available for you to
view so you can actually go through
these and you can also do your own
research and see that uh how much you
know of uh this
um is similar to our standards which are
there from the Indian perspective
and wherever you are watching this video
whether you're in the USA or any other
jurisdiction you can basically compare
uh your standards with what the iasb
stands on so you can see that then there
is the stand out the standards on review
engagements right on Assurance
engagements on related services
again not an effective so you can just
look at these standards
and uh have a quick reference again the
third volume is there
right
this contains the audit quality of
framework and then Assurance framework
such stuff
and uh if you are a CA student they have
been familiar with these because
in accounting Urban reading Accounting
Standards you read the framework
right
so framework is essentially uh very
important
so this was all that was included in
other standards
and this was the latest uh available
right
now I'll go back and uh
switching my uh
Focus now
to
the
concentrations and projects
just a moment
other consultations and projects
basically would show you what uh
the various status of certain accounting
standards are
basically the ISB is working on audits
of less complex entries and the status
is the comments have been considered
audit evidence the exposure draft is
already out for command
and uh fraud and going concern the
exposure drafts are in the development
stage for these again technology it's an
ongoing process so it's just ongoing the
work is ongoing okay it's in the
development phase its own way
so this is uh the current scenario which
I wanted to share with you
with that done now The consultative
Advisory Group
so now
the iaasp uh has consultative Advisory
Group okay and it's an obviously an
important part of the ISB is a formal
president of consultation
so there have uh there there are
representatives of CSG member
organizations and they provide uh advice
in numerous areas including the Ia asb's
editor and project timetable Network
program and including project uh
priorities technical projects under the
providers of elevated activities of the
iaasp
then again
the member organizations now this is
important

the following organizations comprise the
membership of this area you can see
there are so many organizations involved
