The Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (AASB) has several strategic initiatives where our work can extend beyond standard-setting. The AASB’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan committed to working on the following initiatives during this period:
- Environment for small and medium-sized entities
- Changing information needs of users
- Advancement in, and use of, technology
