Final Pronouncement: Revisions to the Non-Assurance Service Provisions of the Code

The revised NAS provisions contain substantive revisions that will enhance the International Independence Standards (IIS) by clarifying and addressing the circumstances in which firms and network firms may or may not provide a NAS to an audit or assurance client. The revised provisions include new requirements that expressly prohibit firms and network firms from providing certain types of NAS to their audit clients, especially when they are public interest entities (PIEs).
