Risk Management, Ethics and Governance

The International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE 3000) training course begins with the purpose, scope and framework of assurance engagements, including key concepts, ethical requirements, quality control and the distinction between reasonable and limited assurance. The agenda then progresses through engagement acceptance, agreement of terms and planning, covering the subject matter, suitable criteria, materiality and engagement risk. It subsequently addresses the performance of assurance procedures, professional judgement and scepticism, and the collection and documentation of sufficient appropriate evidence.

The later stages focus on evaluating evidence, forming an assurance conclusion and preparing the assurance report, including its principal elements and the clear expression of the level of assurance provided. The agenda also considers modified conclusions, emphasis and other matters, together with relevant communications during the engagement. It concludes by bringing together the complete engagement process—from acceptance and planning to performance, documentation and reporting—and examining the practical application of ISAE 3000 and the common issues arising when its requirements are implemented.
