Johannesburg, 1 March 2024 - The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) published a new auditing standard, the International Standard on Auditing for Audits of Financial Statements of Less Complex Entities (the ISA for LCE), on 6 December 2023.

The adoption of this auditing standard in South Africa is currently a highly debated topic within the South African auditing profession.
