Guidance on applying ISA for LCE

To guide the application of the International Standard on Auditing (ISA) for audits of financial statements of less complex entities, known as the ISA for LCE, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) issued guidance to help users determine when to use the standard, a news release said.

The guidance does not amend or override the ISA for LCE, the text of which alone is authoritative, the release said, and reading the guidance is not a substitute for reading the ISA.

“The guidance will be particularly beneficial for legislative and regulatory authorities implementing the standard, firms developing related policies or procedures, and auditors determining whether the standard is appropriate to use for a specific engagement,” the release said.
