Foreword
Engagement and Quality Control Standards are performance benchmarks for the members while performing auditing, review, assurance and related services engagements. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) through its Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (AASB) is making every possible effort to ensure that these standards are understood and implemented in the same spirit in which these standards have been formulated. For this purpose, AASB has taken various steps like organizing regular training programmes on standards, issuing implementation guides on standards, issuing non-authoritative literature on standards, running e-learning course on standards.
I am happy to note that the AASB of ICAI is bringing out this “Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) on Engagement and Quality Control Standards”. The publication contains a number of MCQs on each of the 46 Engagement and Quality Control Standards issued till date. The publication is quite comprehensive containing around 1200 MCQs.
I wish to place my appreciation for CA. G. Sekar, Chairman, CA. (Dr.) Debashis Mitra, Vice-Chairman and all members of the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board for taking this timely initiative of bringing out this publication for creating awareness about the Engagement and Quality Control Standards for the benefit of members and other stakeholders at large.
I am sure that the members and other interested readers would find this publication immensely useful.
