    dear tutor,

    the following are mentioned as two different matters that an auditor needs to consider in order to obtain an understanding of the entity:

    1.Legislation and regulation
    2.Regulatory framework

    but i cannot fathom as to how are the two different?

    1, “legislation [i.e. an “Act” of Parliament] and regulation [statutory instruments and other rules that support the implementation of the Act]” – the distinction is not relevant to AA
    2. In the context of understand the entity this should now be described as “the applicable financial reporting framework” – which we discussed here https://opentuition.com/topic/fr-framework-and-professional-standards
