What the document covers
The guidance structures planning, analysis and remediation for audit deficiencies. Its purpose is to address underlying causes rather than simply record that an inspection finding exists.
Specific requirements and implications
The structured programme requires affected accountants and entities to submit root-cause analysis and a remediation plan within one month of the order notification, then implement the plan within 12 months. Critical issues should be addressed earlier. Reviewers need sufficient competence, objectivity and authority to examine evidence, staffing, timing and supervision. ACRA may require a revised submission if the analysis or proposed response is inadequate; completing a checklist is not the same as resolving the cause.
