    FMA XRB Enhanced auditor reporting 2020

    Enhanced auditor reporting is a joint FMA and XRB report that looks at the evolution of trends in key audit matter reporting in the three years since the revised auditor’s report was introduced.

KAMs are intended to provide transparency and give users of the financial statements a better understanding of how the audit was conducted and complexities that arose. This is the 2020 report.
