Talk:Forum of Firms

Published source with information that should be added to the article (Forum of Firums)

Hi Wikipedia, please note that the information on this page is out of date and inaccurate. Please see updated information on this page: www.forumoffirms.org

In particular, the description of the Forum of Firms is inaccurate. Namely "The Forum of Firms is an association of international networks of accounting firms that perform transnational audits" NOT a "quality control association"

The section "Membership Requirements" is missing some information. Namely, Members of the Forum have committed to adhere to and promote the consistent application of high-quality audit practices worldwide, as detailed in the FOF Constitution. Membership in the Forum is open to networks and firms of all sizes that conduct, or have an interest in conducting, transnational audits; promote the consistent application of high-quality audit practices and standards worldwide; support convergence of national audit standards with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs); and commit to meeting the Forum's membership obligations.

This should also be added to the list of membership obligations: • Agree to submit to the Secretary of the Forum an annual report, in an approved format, indicating that it meets the membership obligations set forth above.

In addition, the Forum of Firms via the Transnational Auditors Committee issued an information paper earlier this year on Engagement Quality Control Reviews. This paper may be of interest to readers and is available for free download from www.forumoffirms.org.

Finally, the list of members and affiliates is out of date. Please see the current list here: http://www.ifac.org/about-ifac/forum-firms
