usually in professional or quality control issue question, i notice that some of the answers, we do have to recommend to improve internal control system(ICS) however isn’t this a management responsibiity ? leading to management threat ?
Can we recommend ways to improve the clients’ ICS ? when there’s management threat ?
May 9, 2019 at 9:33 am #515393See page 41 of the AA notes – the auditor will report significant deficiencies to those charged with governance (ISA 265) and other weakness to an appropriate level of management. See page 70 of the notes for details.
May 14, 2019 at 3:36 am #515825so in the question, this recommend is more of reporting deficiencies to TCWG, not literally recommending which can lead to ethical threat ?
May 14, 2019 at 7:07 am #515835Perhaps you could tell me which particular Q/A you are referring to so I can clarify.
May 22, 2019 at 2:07 pm #516864sorry kim i think i misunderstood the question.
so basically auditor can recommend to TCWG the ways to protect from deficiencies but if auditors were to assist in implementing such “recommendations” then it creates management threat correct ?
