Transnational Auditors Committee |
The Transnational Auditors Committee (TAC) is an committee of IFAC dedicated to representing and meeting the needs of the members of the Forum of Firms (FOF). It plays a major role in encouraging member firms to meet high standards in the international practice of auditing. A fact sheet summarizes the structure of the TAC and FOF, their roles and responsibilities, and FOF membership requirements.
Role And Responsibilities
Specific responsibilities of the TAC include:
- Identifying audit practice issues. When the issues suggest changes in auditing or assurance standards may be required, recommend to the appropriate IFAC standard setting boards that the issue be reviewed.
- Providing a forum to discuss "best practices" in areas including quality control, auditing practices, independence, and training and development.
- Participating in the IFAC Regulatory Liaison Group and identifying qualified candidates to serve on IFAC standard setting boards.
- Acting as a formal conduit for interaction among transnational firms and international regulators and financial institutions with regard to audit quality, systems of quality control, and transparency of international networks.
