Independent Review 2
An Independent Review is an alternative assurance engagement where the independent reviewer provides limited assurance on a set of annual financial statements when compared to that of the reasonable assurance provided by the external auditor. Assurance is the degree or level of trust the users can place on the credibility of the information contained in the annual financial statements.
The Companies Act 71 of 2008 recognises SAIPA members as Independent Reviewers. This is a totally new line of reporting for Professional Accountants (SA), and SAIPA is constitutionally bound to ensure that its members do not take up appointment for duties that they are not competent to conduct.
Join this webinar to learn more about the requirements and basic principles of an Independent Review in accordance with ISRE2400.
