Audits Conducted Under Local Auditing Standards and ISAs
21.44 In situations where an audit is conducted in accordance with local auditing standards and the ISAs, the audit team may indicate this in the auditor’s report, provided the audit team has complied fully with the relevant ISAs, including the reporting requirements. When the audit team has not complied with the ISAs or when ISA reporting requirements differ, the audit team cannot state in the report that the audit was performed in accordance with the ISAs. ISAs do permit, however, the layout or wording of the local standards, provided the report includes certain minimum reporting elements. The audit team should refer to paragraphs 44 and 45 of ISA 700 in these circumstances.
