IFAC has published a Guide to Quality Control for Small- and Medium-Sized Practices. This nonauthoritative implementation guide is intended to help SMPs understand and efficiently apply International Standard on Quality Control (ISQC) 1, Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements, as redrafted under the IAASB’s clarity project.
The guide uses an integrated case study to illustrate how to implement the requirements of ISQC 1, and includes two sample firm policy manuals and key checklists and forms. It can be downloaded for free at www.ifac.org/Store.
