Proposed Auditing Standards — Auditor's Assessment of and Response to Risk

The Board is proposing a suite of seven new auditing standards related to the auditor's assessment of and response to risk, and related conforming amendments.

The proposed standards would apply to all audits performed in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
