Introduction
Practice Notes are intended to assist auditors in applying auditing standards of general application to particular circumstances and industries.
Practice Notes and Bulletins are persuasive rather than prescriptive. However, they are indicative of good practice, even though they may be developed without the full process of consultation and exposure used for standards.
