摘要:现行审计报告具有格式统一、要素一致、内容简洁、意见明确等优点,但随着经济的发展,审计越来越不够透明、缺乏个性,审计报告所包含的信息非常有限,内容太过狭小,缺少使用者关注的对决策有用的其他信息等问题,使得审计报告无法满足相关利益者的需求。因此国际审计与鉴证准则理事会(IAASB)于2015年1月发布了新修订的审计准则,标志着历时数年的审计报告改革的完成,其中“在独立审计报告中沟通关键审计事项”对审计报告来说是突破性的改进。本文主要介绍了审计报告及其演变,包括审计报告的含义及作用以及审计报告格式从非标准审计报告到标准审计报告的演变过程。进而阐述了IAASB发布的关键审计事项的过程及主要国家对关键审计事项改革的情况;接着阐述了关键审计事项的概述,包括关键审计事项的含义、沟通目的、确定以及披露。然后分析了2016年A+H报披露的关键审计事项,其中包含了关键审计事项数量统计及其分析和关键审计事项对审计实务的影响,对审计实务的影响包括对审计定位、审计理念、审计过程、职业能力判断要求以及职业谨慎性的影响。最后针对关键审计事项的确定和披露提出对策和建议,包括与审计报告其他意见类型的关系。
