Objective(s) of project
To improve the clarity and implementation of IES 8 by (1) applying the new IAESB drafting conventions, (2) updating the concepts and terminology to conform to the revised Framework for International Education Standards for Professional Accountants, and (3) clarifying issues resulting from changes in the environment of accounting education and the experience gained from implementation of the Standards by IFAC member bodies.
Scope
IES 8 shall be revised to assist IFAC member bodies in understanding their obligations and the learning and development requirements for area of competence requirements for audit professionals.
Background
IES 8 was approved for publication in 2006 and became effective July 1, 2008.
At its November 2006 meeting, the IAESB agreed to conduct a detailed review of existing IESs and the framework underpinning the IESs, to determine areas where the clarity of standards could be improved and/or additional guidance most usefully developed. The IAESB agreed to suspend any further work on redrafting or revising the IESs until the work on the Framework project was substantially complete.
At its October 2009 meeting the IAESB agreed the project direction to redraft and revise all eight IESs.
In December 2009 the IAESB published the new Framework for International Education Standards for Professional Accountants, which enhances the relevancy, consistency, and applicability of its publications to IFAC members. The Framework also includes an appendix, "IAESB Drafting Conventions," which will be used to increase the clarity of its standards.
Issues
Issues that this project will consider include:
IES 8 - Competence Requirements for Audit Professionals
(i)Revise the Standard’s use and interpretation of the following key definitions: Significant judgment, Audit professional, Education and development program, and Advanced level.
(ii) Clarify the Standard’s explanation surrounding:
Precise roles in a transnational audit;
Acceptance of the need for progression through a variety of roles, over time, whilst part of a larger team;
How the shared responsibility between IFAC member bodies, firms and regulatory authorities should work in practice;
The practical application of an IES that has requirements written primarily to individuals who are practicing members of Member Bodies; and
(iii) Revise the Standard's scope to clarify the coverage of the following key areas:
Engagement Partner Competences
Specific Industries
Practical Experience
