About the Audit Quality Forum
The ICAEW Audit and Assurance Faculty set up the Audit Quality Forum in 2004 at the request of the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.
Its aim is to promote quality and confidence in corporate reporting.
Evolution
The forum is currently focused on its third work programme, Evolution. The series covers:
- The changing environment in which auditors work
- The reporting relationship between auditors and the audit committee
- How the differing interests of stakeholders and their expectations of audit can be reconciled
Fundamentals
The Fundamentals series broadened the focus of the Audit Quality Forum to examine the relationships between shareholders, boards, auditors, regulators and other shareholders in the audit.
Shareholder involvement
The Audit Quality Forum’s Shareholder Involvement work programme was established to support shareholder involvement in the audit process.
