Introduction

Most Independent Review issues don’t start in the working papers—they start long before, at client acceptance. This session equips reviewers with the essential procedures, documentation, and decision-making tools needed to take on the right clients, spot red flags, and meet all pre-engagement requirements under ISRE 2400 (Revised). Because once you’re engaged, you’re exposed—so make sure you’re ready before you sign.
