We are committed to demonstrating openness and transparency in the way we operate our business and how we communicate with the public.
Audit quality arrangements
Our commitment to high audit quality underpins all our work and decision making. We have developed audit methodologies to comply with International Standards that are considered to be best professional practice.
Our audit quality arrangements accord with the Financial Reporting Council’s (FRC’s) International Standard on Quality Management 1 (effective 15 December 2022).
We have established policies and procedures to achieve and continuously monitor audit quality. The 2022 Audit Quality Report sets out:
- Our commitment to quality;
- The three lines of assurance model; and
- The outcome of our quality monitoring arrangements.
The 2021 Audit Quality Report can be viewed here [opens in new window].
