Who We Are

Transnational Auditors Committee

Established May 2000

The Transnational Auditors Committee (TAC) serves as the official link between IFAC and the Forum of Firms (FoF, Forum). It is broadly responsible for implementing and advancing the Forum's objectives and operations. It also plays a major role in encouraging Forum members to conduct high-quality transnational audits by requiring the commitment to comply with certain transnational standards as a condition of membership.

The TAC also supports audit quality by:

• Identifying audit practice issues and making suggested recommendations to the appropriate standard-setting boards to review these issues as needed;
• Providing a forum to discuss best practices in areas including quality management, auditing, independence, and training and continuing professional development;
• Facilitating interaction among transnational firms, international regulators, financial institutions, and other stakeholders with regard to audit quality, systems of quality management, and transparency of international networks; and
• Identifying qualified candidates to nominate to serve on the international standard-setting boards.
