Revised ISA 315 Key steps for implementing the new requirements
The auditor’s risk identification and assessment process is changing. Alex Russell outlines how to put the enhancements in the revised ISA 315 into practice.
The revised International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 315 introduces major changes in the approach to risk identification and assessment.
