A disappointing, although perhaps not surprising, development. Whatever the shortcomings of this standard, the full ISAs (which are increasingly focussed on listed and PIE audits) are not, whatever standard setters may say, sufficiently scalable in practice for many SME audits. My experience of audit around the world suggests something is needed to ensure high quality, proportionate, cost-effective SME audits. But if its not this standard, what is it? I would like to see jurisdictions looking at this standard more closely, applying it in practice ("Beta testing" if you like), and considering how it could be strengthened (and by that I don't mean adding more requirements!) rather than consigning it the scrap heap. There are many jurisdictions which need a workable solution and without a global solution, we fragmentation of auditing standards. #audit #ISAforLCE #auditquality #SME

The decision not to adopt the LCE standard is the right decision in my view, however, there remains a significant need for more practical guidance to ensure full auditing standards can be applied effectively and efficiently in these contexts. Continuing to provide tailored resources and frameworks could help in bridging the gap and ensuring high-quality financial reporting across all entity sizes. Some examples of 'practical guidance' could include: 1. Simplified documentation 2. Risk-based approaches 3. Clear guidance on materiality 4. Tailored audit programs 5. Education and training
