Published: 25 September 2023

In December 2022 we published our separate first report on inspection and supervision activity at Tier 2 and Tier 3 audit firms in 2021/22. Previously, our overall findings at these firms were reported in our Developments in Audit publications.
Audit Quality Inspection and Supervision Report 2022/23
Our Audit Quality Inspection and Supervision Report 2022/23 sets out our key inspection and supervision findings at Tier 2 and Tier 3 firms this year, alongside areas of good practice, which all audit firms should pay close attention to. It also outlines the extensive supervision activity the FRC now undertakes to ensure Tier 2 and Tier 3 firms are growing sustainably and are prioritising the delivery of high quality audit.
Except for identifying the firms that were in Tier 2 and Tier 3 for 2022/23 and the firms inspected in each year, the information in this report is aggregated and anonymised. This is in view of the statutory confidentiality requirements which apply to individual inspection reports. Many Tier 2 and Tier 3 firms have only a small number of audits falling with the FRC’s inspection scope. To publish firm-specific inspection data would risk identifying how we have assessed the audits of specific entities.
