ISCA Issues Audit Bulletin (AB) 9 on Inclusion of Public Accountant’s Name in Auditor’s Report
The introduction of Section 59A to the Accountants Act requires auditor’s reports issued by a public accountant or an accounting entity that fall within the scope of Section 59A(4) to clearly state the full name of the public accountant responsible for the audit engagement, regardless of the auditing standards applied.
