IFIAR publishes ninth annual inspection findings survey

The International Forum of Independent Audit Regulators has published its ninth annual (audit) inspection findings survey: see here. IFIAR members from 50 jurisdictions took part in the survey. The survey reports that 34% of the audits of public interest entities inspected by members had at least one "finding" (generally understood to be a significant deficiency in satisfying the requirements of auditing standards) - hence the observation that there continues to be a lack of consistency in the execution of high quality audits.
