Group 2: Consultation Process - The ASB has not yet determined the length of the consultation, but it will last for at least 120 days from the publication date [1]. - The exposure draft outlining the proposed amendments is scheduled for online release on February 26 [3]. Group 3: ASB's Role - The ASB is the senior committee of the AICPA authorized to set auditing, attestation, and quality management standards for audits of non-issuers and attestation engagements [4]. - It is responsible for developing a comprehensive framework to support practitioners in delivering objective audit and attestation services [5].
