    Hello dear tutor

    I have a question about FIRM ROTATION ana AUDITORS ROTATION:

    1-according to new ARTICLE is it necessary to rotate firm after 10 years(it is said in the article: there is now a requirement for FTSE 350 companies to put the external audit out to tender every 10 years)?does the current firm allowed to participate in tendering after 10 years?

    2-I remember from F8 that the audit lead partner should be rotated after 5 years and other audit member should be rotated after 7 years(for a period of 2 years)….
    But in P7 it is said that key audit partner should be rotated after 7 years(for a period of 2 years)…

    Which one is correct?
    Who are the key audit partner?(are they they the same as audit lead partners?)

    Thanks alot

    There’s a good article from the Deloitte Academy on this very subject – complete with time-line showing effective dates and potential lengths of service

    Read this and then come back to me if you need to – it’s too long for me to start thinking about writing it out, or even summarising it!

    Here’s a link for individual partner rotation though I believe that paragraph 1 answers your question
