Hello
In this answer i noticed that a suggested safeguard was “Have a professional accountant who was not a member of the team review the work of senior personnel”
My questions is why would it be suggested that an accountant review audit work? Auditors would have knowledge of ISAs and IFRS while accountants more focus on IFRS as opposed to ISAs.
Am I correct in thinking that you are aiming to become an ACCA qualified accountant?
All your fellow students employed by accountancy firms and working within the audit department are also aiming to qualify as accountants
And many of the partners in audit firms are also qualified accountants
There is no separate qualification as an external auditor (internal auditors have there own institute and qualification)
From the national careers service of the UK government webpage
https://nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk/job-profiles/auditor
“To be an external auditor, you’ll need to be a qualified chartered accountant with membership of one of the following professional bodies:
Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)
Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)
Association of International Accountants (AIA)”OK?
