The new standards will affect every firm that performs engagements in accordance with the SASs, SSARSs and SSAEs. Implementation of these new standards is required by Dec. 15, 2025. The key changes brought about by the new standards are:·  New risk-based approach, incorporating a risk assessment process driving firms to focus on quality management tailored to their circumstances · Revised components of the system of quality management — two new components, including information and communication · More robust leadership and governance requirements · Enhanced monitoring and remediation processes · New requirements for networks and service providers The new standards require firms to determine their quality management risks; to determine the root cause for the identified risks; and to develop responses to eliminate the identified risks and avoid engagement non-performance
