Standard on Quality Management 1 (ISQM1) is a new standard being issued by the
IAASB that is currently expected to become effective at the end of 2021. This
new standard will require audit and accounting firms to undertake a risk-based
assessment of their system of quality management and focus their attention on
risks that may have an impact on engagement quality and the policies,
procedures and controls that need to be in place to address these risks. Unlike
extant International Standard on Quality Control (ISQC 1), the new approach
