What the document covers
The bulletin explains review as a safeguard for audit risk responses and support for the opinion. It discusses the earlier quality-control standard's requirements.
Specific requirements and implications
The bulletin considers technical competence, relevant experience, independence and competing responsibilities when assigning a reviewer. Merely allocating a name to an engagement does not demonstrate a meaningful review. Early involvement allows unresolved issues to be addressed before reporting. The document's recommendations about seniority and partner experience are presented within the former SSQC 1 framework, so they should be distinguished from the exact eligibility requirements in later quality-management standards.
