Description

The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) wants to commission qualitative research with Audit Committee Chairs (ACCs) of Public Interest Entities (PIEs) to obtain a rich, in-depth understanding of ACCs' views on audit quality.

Since 2014, the FRC has conducted relatively large-scale annual surveys of ACCs of large companies on audit quality, often using written questionnaires. For 2020 the FRC wants to commission a set of in-depth, semi-structured interviews with a smaller, but representative, sample of ACCs, to generate more detailed insights into ACCs' views on audit quality. This includes insights into how audit committees break down the components of quality of service and quality of audit when choosing an auditor and evaluating the quality of the audit received.

The project is expected to take place between January 2020 and May 2020.
