    Is quality management review only required for listed companies? And for non-listed companies it is upto the auditor if he thinks it is necessary or not?

    Chapter 24 at the top of page 112:

    “5.4 Engagement Quality (EQ) Review
    Public interest audits, such as the audit of listed companies, should [i.e. must] undergo an Engagement Quality (EQ) Review.”

    So it is a requirement for the audit of public interest entities that are not listed companies – e.g. non-listed financial institutions.

    At the bottom of the same page it says:

    “An audit firm may choose to carry out reviews (‘hot’ or ‘cold’) where an EQ review is not required.”

    You don’t need any more detail on this for AA because ISQM 1 is not examinable – but in the QM Chapter for AAA it says:

    “An audit firm should set criteria for other engagements, if any, that require an EQ review (eg entities in certain industries identified as high risk).”

    A firm may have a policy of carrying out an EQ review on new audit clients, for example.
