PSAA has a duty to make appointments to all bodies that opt into the schemes. We have published our approach to auditor appointments for the two five-year appointing periods from 2023/24 to 2027/28 and from 2018/19 to 2022/23.
When we make auditor appointments we consider any formal joint working or shared service arrangements where these are relevant to the auditor’s responsibilities. Providing there are no independence considerations or other constraints, we will look to appoint the same firm as for another opted-in body where this is requested. Auditors must be independent of the bodies they audit, as required by the Ethical Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council and in accordance with PSAA’s obligations under the Regulations.
If you have a specific enquiry about either of the appointing period schemes, please contact us at generalenquiries@psaa.co.uk.
