IAASB pronouncements govern audit, review, assurance, and related service engagements that are
conducted in accordance with international standards. References in the IAASB’s pronouncements
regarding ‘professional skepticism’ and ‘professional judgment’ are therefore limited to the context
of audit, assurance, and related service engagements. Within this IES, however, these terms are to
be interpreted as applying to the broader context of a role as a professional accountant.
