This guide was last updated in September 2018 and is based on the relevant laws and regulations that apply as at 1 September 2018. The only changes since the last version of the guide are to the use of the audit report section to reflect the release of Technical Release 01/03AAF (Revised).
This guide is designed to explain the main changes that are needed to be made to the company examples in the FRC's Compendium of illustrative auditor's reports. This guide applies to opinions issued in accordance with ISAs (UK) for entities other than companies where there is no statutory or regulatory requirement for an audit to be undertaken. It has been presumed that the entity is not listed, is not a Public Interest Entity as defined by the EU Regulation and is not required nor has chosen voluntarily to report on how it has applied the UK Corporate Governance Code.
