August 1, 2018 at 7:27 am #465489A 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).) - AuthorPosts
