    Threats are assessed at the level of the firm (e.g. see para 290.168 of the Rulebook).

    A FIRM may provide “routine” services relating to accounting records and financial statements with appropriate safeguards (290.168) such as:
    – the person(s) providing these services are not members of the audit team
    – if they are members of the audit team, having their work reviewed by someone more senior who is not a member of the audit team.

    As a general rule, a FIRM cannot prepare accounting records and financial statements for a PIE audit client (290.169)
    (There is an exception that the firm may provide “routine” services for divisions of a PIE subject to appropriate safeguards (290.170).)
