  • ISE2400 Review Engagements,
  • ISAE 3000 Other Assurance Engagements and
  • ISAE 4400 Agreed Upon Procedures Engagements

These amendments respond to the IESBA / IRBA / SAICA Code of Ethics’ approved revisions, which introduced explicit ethical requirements for using the work of external experts in audit, assurance, and non-assurance engagements.

The consequential amendments to the following assurance and non-assurance standards reflect collaboration and interoperability between ethical codes and assurance and non-assurance services standards.
