The Financial Reporting Council today published its Audit Quality Inspection Annual Report for 2012/13: see here (pdf).

It also stresses the need for firms to maintain, and in some cases reinforce, professional scepticism. The important role to be performed by the audit committee in respect of professional scepticism is also emphasised.
