Predict the future? The AASB can’t do that, but it can work with you on what Canadian auditing and assurance standards should look like in the coming years.
Let’s chat about the future of auditing standards in Canada!
The Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (AASB) is building its next strategic plan, set to drive Canadian auditing and assurance standards activities between 2022 and 2025.
To finalize our plan, we need your input to identify issues that matter to you most, that the AASB can help solve.
First up: A series of short surveys and virtual chats you can participate in to give your views on our key strategic proposals. Surveys and virtual chats will be offered once a week starting in late February and ending in March.
