Audit Engagement Letters are essential documents used to formalize the relationship between auditors and their clients in England and Wales. These letters define the scope, terms, and conditions of the audit engagement, ensuring clarity and compliance with regulatory requirements. They are required by professional standards and best practice, protecting both the audit firm and the client by clearly setting out expectations, responsibilities, and limitations of the audit process. The letter serves as a binding contract and should be issued before the commencement of any audit work.
