Improving the quality of disclosure
in auditor reports is key to gaining company insight, says Tim Copnell
The UK response to the global debate around the information
available to investors on 'audit related' matters has been two fold.
First, the revised UK Corporate Governance Code now recommends disclosure
in the annual report of the significant issues considered by the audit
committee in relation to the financial statements and how those issues
were addressed. Secondly, the Financial Reporting Council's (FRC)
recent proposals to 'extend' the auditor's report will ensure audit
risk, materiality and scope are addressed.
