Interesting way of reporting key audit matters

GT, they are so transparent about their audit strategy. I don't know if it's because of the activity which is a non profit organisation or anything else.

I guess IASB want to be as transparent as possible because it's their pledge.
Not sure all corporations are happy with this level of transparency.
