Complying with ISQM requires everyone in a firm, at whatever level, to understand their role in managing audit quality and to ‘do the right thing’. Embedding this mindset across a firm can be a challenge.
In this interactive session, Andrew Jarvis and Simon Kettlewell from HAT Group use their experience of working with firms in the UK and internationally to discuss common areas of concern and how to manage these proactively, resulting in a strong System of Quality Management for audits and a strong culture of quality within the firm.
This session is part of our ISQM 1 Live Training Series. You can view the full programme and register for other sessions HERE.
Who it’s for: Anyone involved in audit quality, compliance, ISQM 1 implementation, internal monitoring (partners, quality leads, audit managers and other team members).
Wordly, our AI translation tool, will be available during the webinar for anyone who requires translation support.
