Guidance - Auditor climate related reporting responsibilities under ISA (UK) 720

The FRC has today published a new FRC Staff Guidance, Auditor responsibilities under ISA (UK) 720 in respect of climate related reporting by companies required by the Financial Conduct Authority. This staff guidance also includes a brief reminder of auditor’s responsibilities under ISA (UK) 720 in respect of the company’s Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (‘SECR’) disclosures.   Increasingly auditors have requested guidance from the FRC, in respect of their specific responsibilities under ISA (UK) 720, following the introduction of TCFD aligned climate-related disclosure requirements for listed companies by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). In the FRC’s ESG Statement of Intent, published in July 2021 the FRC stated that they will monitor the need for guidance on ESG-related matters and issue audit and assurance guidance at the national level as appropriate. The guidance note is designed to address this commitment.

Revocation of the recognition of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland(‘ICAS’)

Pursuant to its powers under section 931(4) of the Companies Act 2014 (‘the Act’), the Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority (‘the Authority’) has decided to revoke the recognition of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (‘ICAS’) granted under S.930 of the Act with effect from 22 December 2021. This means that ICAS may no longer authorise individuals or firms as statutory auditors in Ireland or undertake any audit related regulatory functions. This decision follows the application by the ICAS to the Authority for revocation of its recognition. By virtue of the revocation of its recognition, ICAS is no longer a prescribed accountancy body under the Act and therefore, no longer comes under the remit of the Authority.
