Revised CAS 315 resources
Revised CAS 315, Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement, is now in effect for all audits of financial statements for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2021. Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatements is the foundation to every audit. It provides the basis for designing and implementing the responses to those risks and impacts the nature, timing and extent of your audit procedures.
The standard has been significantly enhanced to evolve with the increasingly complex economic, technological, and regulatory aspects of the markets and environments in which entities and audit firms operate.
Our free guidance materials have been compiled to:
- help you understand the key changes and enhancements to this foundational standard
- equip you for a successful implementation of the standard in your 2022 audits and beyond
