EU Statutory Audit Directive (Directive 2006/43/EC) A24b-5: Audit file and assurance file closed within sixty days of the report

What does A24b-5 require?

An audit file is created for each statutory audit, documenting at least the acceptance assessment data under Article 22b and, where applicable, the Articles 6 to 8 data under Regulation (EU) No 537/2014, and retaining the other data and documents important in support of the audit report and for monitoring compliance; it is closed no later than sixty days after the audit report is signed. An assurance file is created for each sustainability assurance engagement on the same basis, closed within sixty days of the assurance report, and may be included in the audit file where the same auditor performs both engagements.
