@nailcpa, so far, from what I've encountered (and someone can correct me if I'm wrong), ISA requires management to take more responsibility than US GAAS does on a general basis within the reporting of their financial statements. An example of this is that ISA's state that management must assess and assert the entity's own going concern, and the auditor must assess MANAGEMENT's assessment. US GAAS requires the auditor to assess the going concern of the entity. Additionally, within reporting, there is also a requirement that management must report to the auditor about its future plans (ISA). I feel like even though I have the updated information, I get only bits and pieces of the ISA's and the convergence that is planned.
