Integrated audit Explain the application of an integrated audit as it relates to regulation. Discuss the reasons that this integrated approach may occur
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires reporting by management of publicly-held companies on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) requires the external auditor to perform an integrated audit of the effectiveness of internal controls and financial reporting. In other words, the same auditor must attest to both the financial statements and management's assertions regarding the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
Because of the above mentioned regulatory requirements, auditors will perform an audit on both financial statements and internal controls for all public clients.
