  1. Quality Management at the Engagement LevelProposed Draft ISA 220 (Revised) Megan Zietsman, Task Force Chair IAASB Meeting, New York, USA Agenda Item 6 June 20, 2018

  2. Proposed Revisions to ISA 220 – Addressing Key Matters of Public Interest Addressing and encouraging appropriate exercise of professional skepticism Clarifying the engagement partner’s (EP’s) role and responsibilities Reliance on firm or network firm quality management processes and procedures Addressing audit delivery models Other matters: • Required understanding for accepting or continuing an engagement (e.g., access issues); • Interaction of firm quality management with managing quality at the engagement level; and • Ongoing two-way communication.

  3. Proposed Revisions to ISA 220 – EP’s Responsibility for Quality Sufficient and appropriate involvement throughout the engagement

  4. Proposed Revisions to ISA 220 – Scalability Revisions to requirements proposed that emphasize a “tailored approach” to quality management at the engagement level that is responsive to the nature and circumstances of the audit engagement (Engagement Resources, Direction, Supervision and Review, and Taking Overall Responsibility for Achieving Quality) Application material proposed that recognizes considerations specific to smaller practitioners in relation to: • How the firm’s responses to quality risks, including policies or procedures, may be less formal in a smaller firm, and consequently, the risks this may pose; and • Some sections of the ISA may not be relevant if the audit is carried out entirely by the EP
