ISRE 2400: Engagements to review financial
statements
2.1 A review will enable the auditor to state that nothing has come to his attention that causes
him to believe that the financial statements are not prepared in accordance with an identified
financial reporting framework. This is known as negative assurance.
2.2 The auditor should plan and perform the review with an attitude of professional scepticism
recognising that circumstances may exist which cause the financial statements to be
materially misstated.
2.3 The auditor should obtain sufficient appropriate evidence primarily through enquiry and
analytical procedures, to be able to draw conclusions.
2.4 The auditor and the client should agree on the terms of the engagement and an
engagement letter should be signed.

ISA 600: Using the work of another auditor

ISA 600: Using the work of another auditor The principal auditor has responsibility for the opinion on the group financial statements. In most countries this responsibility is not diminished by reliance on the work of the other auditors of the subsidiary companies or associates. The auditors of the subsidiary companies are a source of evidence only. The principal auditor must decide how much reliance he will place on the work performed by these other auditors. In order to do this he will consider the qualifications, experience and resources of the other auditors.  Generally the principal auditor should have the right to ask the other company auditors for all reasonable information and explanations required to form the audit opinion. ISA 600 states that the other auditors should co-operate with the principal auditor.
