FEE responds to the IAASB consultation paper “The Evolving Nature of Financial Reporting: Disclosure and its Audit Implications”: Although the current ISAs provide relevant and detailed guidance, it appears appropriate to carefully consider whether they provide the auditor with the necessary framework for the audit of developments in financial reporting, especially in the area of disclosures. FEE believes that there would be benefit in an enhanced dialogue with regulators and enforcers of financial statements in order to mitigate the identified risks of misperceptions of the views of various stakeholders at regional as well as international level.
