What's New

JICPA's redrafted Quality Control Standards Committee Statement and Auditing Standards Committee Statements are now effective

April 27, 2012

Redrafted Quality Control Standards Committee Statement (hereafter referred to “QCSCS”) and Auditing Standards Committee Statements (hereafter referred to “ASCSs”) are now effective for the periods beginning on or after April 1, 2012.

 

Redrafted QCSCS and ASCSs are prepared primarily based on the clarified ISAs and ISQC 1 (including conforming amendments) of the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) of International Federation of Accountants. There are, however, some modifications from the IAASB pronouncements, as  those sections of “Considerations Specific to Public Sector Entities,” that appear in the ISAs under the headings of “Application and Other Explanatory Materials,” are not included in the redrafted ASCSs.  

 

JICPA issued, on December 22nd 2011, one QCSCS and 34 ASCSs with the same numbers used in clarified ISAs and ISQC1. These redrafted QCSCS and ASCSs are as follows:
