Application and Other Explanatory Material
Scope of this ISA (UK and Ireland)
Additional Responsibilities, through Statutory or Other Regulatory Requirements, in Relation to Other Information (Ref: Para. 1)
A1.The auditor may have additional responsibilities, through statutory or other regulatory requirements, in relation to other information that are beyond the scope of this ISA (UK and Ireland). For example, some jurisdictions may require the auditor to apply specific procedures to certain of the other information such as required supplementary data or to express an opinion on the reliability of performance indicators described in the other information. Where there are such obligations, the auditor's additional responsibilities are determined by the nature of the engagement and by law, regulation and professional standards. If such other information is omitted or contains deficiencies, the auditor may be required by law or regulation to refer to the matter in the auditor's report.
A1-1.In the UK and Ireland an example of an auditor's additional responsibilities for a listed company would include the auditor's review of whether the Corporate Governance Statement reflects the company's compliance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code specified by the Listing Rules for review by the auditor.
