FAQ :

The NFRA's first annual inspection of audit firms is scheduled to commence by April 2024.

The inspection will cover prominent auditing organizations, including the Big Five, and other firms selected based on risk-based parameters.

The primary objective is to assess the adherence of auditing firms to recommendations made in December 2023 reports, focusing on operational processes and the provision of non-audit services.

A key focus will be evaluating auditors' effectiveness in maintaining robust communication with the audit committees of publicly listed companies.

After inspections, audited firms will have the opportunity to respond to NFRA's findings before the reports are made public, ensuring transparency and due process.
