Difference between ISQC 1 & ISQM 1

The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) issued three Quality Management standards in December 2020.

The three new interrelated standards, which replace International Standard on Quality Control (ISQC) 1 and International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 220, are effective 15 December 20221.
