I was browsing the annual report of the IFRS foundation* and noticed an interesting visualisation of key audit matters and other risks in audit report by GT:

I think this approach can be very useful as opposed to the usual binary approach taken by auditors

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.

Yes they like their diagrams in corporates too. The problem with 'other risks' is that the list could be endless, really the audit report should only show the KAMs and sig risks in my view

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.

You're right JRSB, there's no point is showing items that scored 'low' on both axis
