    Audit Quality Monitoring Report 2019

    Under the Auditor Regulation Act 2011 (AR Act), we must carry out a quality review of the systems, policies and procedures of registered audit firms and licensed auditors at least once every four years. We are required to prepare a report each year on the reviews we completed in the preceding financial year. Our reviews help improve audit quality and ensure audit opinions are reliable. The reviews also help us to achieve our strategic goal of ensuring investors are able to make active choices based on clear, concise and effective information.
