Working Groups
Member volunteers are dedicated to practical outcomes that will enhance audit quality through their participation in a number of formal Working Groups, Task Forces and Outreach Team that meet regularly throughout the year. IFIAR’s six Working Groups are focused on practical deliverables in the following areas: Engaging with the six largest global audit networks; inspections; enforcement; international cooperation; investors and other stakeholders, and standard setting.
Meetings
Every year, IFIAR convenes a plenary meeting for Member representatives to discuss emerging regulatory issues, challenges facing the audit profession, and strategic approaches to sustainable audit quality. The organization hosts an annual workshop focused on inspection processes and challenges, enhancing insight into Members’ oversight regimes and identifying better practices. IFIAR also holds an annual enforcement workshop with similar goals. Other stakeholder and issues-driven meetings and meetings of the Board take place throughout the year.
Inspections Information
To help measure audit quality trends, IFIAR conducts an annual Inspection Findings Survey which informs IFIAR’s collective efforts to promote audit quality globally, complementary to individual regulators’ audit firm inspection and oversight regimes. Results are made public every year.
