COMMITTEE MEMBERS REQUIRED

The IRBA is established in terms of section 3 of the Auditing Profession Act, 2005, (Act No. 26 of 2005). The strategic focus of the IRBA is to protect the financial interests of the public by ensuring that only suitably qualified individuals are admitted to the auditing profession and that registered auditors deliver services of the highest quality and adhere to the highest ethics standards.

The goal is to help create an ethical, value-driven financial sector that encourages investment, creates confidence in the financial markets and promotes sound practices.

The IRBA executes its responsibilities through statutory committees.

INSPECTIONS COMMITTEE (INSCOM)
The INSCOM consists of a maximum of eight (8) suitably qualified and experienced persons who are not directly or indirectly involved in public practice and are not members of the INVESCO, DISCOM or DAC. The members are responsible for:

• Monitoring the progress of the inspections cycle;
• Considering whether the inspection reports and recommendations are consistent and of an appropriate quality (on an anonymous basis);
• Considering the recommendations made by the IRBA’s inspectors, and determining the final outcome of inspections; and
• Providing guidance to, and advising the IRBA’s inspections department on challenges and contentious matters, including recommending appropriate remedial activities.

INSCOM must meet as often as circumstances require, but at least four (4) times per calendar year. The Board has three vacancies on INSCOM and expressions of interest in serving on the Committee are invited from people with sound accounting/auditing related backgrounds.

ATTENDANCE FEES

An attendance fee of R4 096 per meeting, plus travelling costs, are paid by the IRBA.
