IRBA Undertakes a Post-implementation Review of its SAAEPS 1
In the last quarter of 2023, the IRBA is embarking on a post-implementation review to inform and direct the discussions on sustainability assurance.
In August 2018, the IRBA’s Committee for Auditing Standards approved and issued SAAEPS 1, Sustainability Assurance Engagements: Rational Purpose, Appropriateness of Underlying Subject Matter and Suitability of Criteria (SAAEPS 1).
SAAEPS 1 is available on PDF and Word on the IRBA website:
