WHAT CAN BE GLEANED FROM THE FIRST ROUND OF ENHANCED AUDITOR REPORTS AND KEY AUDIT MATTERS (KAMS)?

The first quarter of FY2017 has passed, and public listed companies (PLCs) are starting to lodge the first batch of enhanced auditors’ reports incorporating key audit matters (KAMs) with Bursa Malaysia. Hence, it is timely to assess how auditors and PLCs are complying with the enhanced auditor reporting standards which became effective for audits of financial statements for periods ended on or after 15 December 2016.

MIA’s annual AuditWorld 2017 canvassed insights on KAMs and the initial Malaysian experience at an expert panel session—Communicating Key Audit Matters & Experience of Early Adopters in Audit Reporting. The following are some takeaways:

KAMs Improve Stakeholder Communications and Audit Visibility

Regulators across the region shared that enhanced auditor reporting and KAMs will improve communications between auditors, shareholders and the investing public. Without KAMs, investors may liken audit to a black hole as they are unfamiliar with the auditors' thought and work processes.

KAMs are expected to raise auditor visibility and provide more insights to the investor community. Prior to this, auditors already provided substantial information to those charged with governance (TCWG) on risk assessment, audit approach and audit findings behind closed doors, but these are not shared with investors. Auditors agreed that KAMs are a good opportunity for auditors to provide some visibility to investors and stakeholders, and present an avenue for further discussion with TCWG.

Enhancing Audit Quality, Reducing Audit Risks

The process of enhanced auditor reporting and KAMs will necessitate auditors to understand their clients and industries in an in-depth manner and

will sharpen auditors’ focus on how they address significant matters.

Although disclosure and audit quality are poised to escalate, the audit process and methodology are unchanged. The difference is that whatever is presented is now open to the public. Auditors’ thought processes and work processes could be the same, but they must be more careful when presenting points and ensure that the audit documentation and procedures performed suffice the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) requirements.

Another pertinent difference is that audit partners, particularly those signing the audit report, must be hands-on and fully engaged throughout the entire audit process. If an audit partner is not involved in the whole audit process, it is very difficult for him or her to issue an opinion and to talk about the KAMs.

Auditors were cautioned to avoid boilerplate reporting which adds little value to users of financial statements. It is also important to document the auditor’s thought process in the working papers so users understand how auditors identify significant risk areas for disclosure as KAMs.

Disclosure

Auditors should rely on their professional judgement and auditing standards to drive KAMs, and not be constrained by pressure to disclose certain KAMs or set a limit on the number of anticipated KAMs. Always be guided by this overarching question: How does your thought process identify the areas of concern and subsequently narrow these down to matters that need to be disclosed in the KAMs? At the time of writing, the first few reports lodged with Bursa Malaysia disclosed a minimal number of KAMs.

MIA shall not be liable for any loss, damage or costs howsoever arising, as a result of any person acting on reliance of the article, or arising out of any omission from it.
