Assurance Guidance Committee (AGC)

The SAICA Assurance Guidance Committee (AGC) is a prescribed committee of SAICA. The committee focuses on the assurance practitioner constituency of SAICA’s membership, in the context of issues that concern members within the assurance profession and in the assurance standard-setting processes.

The objectives of the AGC are to:

• Create value for the assurance practitioner constituency of SAICA’s membership by identifying challenges they are facing and proposing solutions to these challenges.
• Be involved with, and influence and contribute to the development of pronouncements relating to assurance and related services, issued by local and international standard-setting bodies.
• Facilitate communication with the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA) and other regulators on assurance and related services matters when required; and
• Enhance the quality of all assurance related guidance issued by SAICA. This excludes guidance on subject matters and topics in respect of which pronouncements are ordinarily issued by the IRBA for registered auditors.
