ENGAGEMENT QUALITY CONTROL REVIEW CHECKLIST A21-2

Objective: To provide an objective evaluation of the significant judgements made and the conclusions reached during the audit.

Comment Initials
For all listed plc clients and other criteria detailed in the firm’s procedures (eg. high
risk audits) an Engagement Quality Control (EQC) review must be performed.
Further guidance on the conduct of EQC reviews can be found in the procedures
manual.

17. Discuss significant matters arising during the assignment with the
engagement partner and other members of the team. Ascertain if there were
any other areas of particular difficulty and whether they are satisfied that
these have been properly addressed and resolved.
18. Review the financial statements and the proposed auditor’s report.
19. Review selected audit documentation relating to significant judgements and
conclusions reached. Consider whether the level of recorded audit work
carried out in the key areas is appropriate given the nature of the risks
involved.
20. Consider whether appropriate consultation has taken place on matters
involving differences of opinion or other difficult or contentious areas and
consider whether the conclusions drawn are reasonable.
21. Consider the corrected and uncorrected misstatements (including
adjustments the client would not allow) identified during the audit and
whether these items are significant enough to affect the truth and fairness of
the financial statements.
22. Consider whether all necessary reports have been made to relevant bodies
(management, board of directors etc.) concerning issues identified during the
audit.
23. Consider whether departures from applicable accounting standards,
necessary for the financial statements to give a true and fair view, are
reasonable.
24. Consider whether the audit complies with Ethical Standards including the
appropriateness and adequacy of safeguards applied.
25. Consider whether the engagement partner’s consideration of objectivity and
independence has been adequately recorded.
26. Consider whether all necessary disclosures have been made in respect of
contentious issues and that the wording of the audit report is reasonable
given the findings identified on the audit file.

Conclusion

This review has been completed before the audit report is issued and I have (tick as appropriate):

 No concern that the work, key decisions and judgements made and the conclusions reached were inappropriate

 Some concern that the work, key decisions and judgements made and the conclusions reached were inappropriate (see

1 A material uncertainty may arise from events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to
continue as a going concern. A material uncertainty exists where the size of its potential impact and likelihood of occurrence warrant appropriate
disclosure in the financial statements and audit report.
2 In all cases, if the period management paid particular attention to is less than one year from the date of management’s approval of the financial
statements, include in note to the financial statements or, failing that, in the audit report.
3 If a note is not included or the disclosure is inadequate in the financial statements then the audit report should be modified. Adequate disclosure
entails clearly describing the existence of a material uncertainty and the principal events or conditions that create this, together with
management’s plans to deal with these events or conditions.
4 The paragraph shall highlight the existence of a material uncertainty and draw attention to the note in the financial statements that discloses the
matter.
5 Due to inadequate procedures by management (eg. insufficient information or management’s assessment is for an insufficient period).
