24.100 To comply with the documentation standards and record retention policies, group audit teams are responsible for communicating the date of the audit report to all component auditors assisting with the group audit. This communication is essential for component auditors to complete the assembly of their audit documentation, record changes to their workpapers after the documentation assembly period (a rare occurrence) and “lock down” their engagement files within the documentation assembly period. International audit standards require archiving of audit workpapers within 60 days of the date of the audit report. However some jurisdictions, such as the U.S. have a 45 day documentation completion requirement. The communication should occur for all group audits, public and non-public.
