| 2 | On a related note, the IAASB has also just published the first part of its four-part guide series, Applying the IAASB’s Quality Management Standards to AI-Enabled Technological Tools.
This first release has an introduction to the series and Guide 1: Common Conceptual Foundation. Guide 1 explains what an AI-enabled technological tool is and how its life cycle works. It also sets out firm-level and engagement-level quality management responsibilities, along with risk assessment considerations to help firms identify and assess quality risks.
The anticipated publication schedule, subject to IAASB approval, is:
🔹 Guide 2 – Firm-Level Quality Management Before Deployment: January/February 2027
🔹 Guide 3 – Engagement-Level Use and Oversight: April/May 2027
🔹 Integrated Edition, including Guide 4 on monitoring and remediation after deployment: July/August 2027
The integrated edition will bring together all four guides, incorporating any revisions made during the development of the series.
The guides are non-authoritative and do not introduce new requirements. They support the consistent and effective application of ISQM 1 and ISA 220 (Revised), while recognizing the diverse circumstances and technological maturity of firms.
Explore the Introduction and Guide 1 here. | 119 |

| 5 |  Dear Practitioners,
Thank you for joining us at ISCA Conference 2026 yesterday. It was a full day of updates, insights and conversations on where the profession is heading.
First, congratulations to EY and Nexia Singapore, recipients of the second Workforce Transformation Award for the Accountancy Sector! The award recognises firms that have redesigned jobs, adopted technology and invested in their people, with the award presented by SWDA in partnership with ISCA and supported by ACRA and EDB.
The conference also marked the launch of ISCA FlexConnect, a pilot initiative connecting experienced accountancy professionals seeking flexible work arrangements with employers looking to meet their finance talent needs, including through temporary and project-based roles.
The initiative creates more opportunities for professionals to contribute their expertise at different stages of their careers, while helping businesses address evolving workforce needs.

The safety and wellbeing of our almost 3,000 participants, families, volunteers, staff and partners remain our highest priority. We recognise the time, effort and preparation that participants and families have invested in this event, and we share your disappointment.
Registered participants will receive an official email on the collection of race medals and related arrangements.

AI in Assurance: Can you trust it, govern it, defend it?
AI is no longer just assisting with tasks. Today's AI systems can act across entire workflows, analyse information and support decision-making. But when an AI-assisted conclusion is challenged, can it be explained, reviewed and defended?
Join our upcoming ISCA TechTalk, presented in partnership with Caseware, to explore how AI is reshaping assurance and learn a practical framework for evaluating AI in audit and assurance engagements.
Gain practical insights into:
- The AI Trust Stack framework for evaluating AI in assurance
- Why AI adoption is also a defensibility decision
- Keeping AI-assisted conclusions explainable and reviewable
- Assessing whether AI tools are truly audit-ready
- Communicating AI risks and value to clients, partners and regulators
