Independence Standard

Independence Check Tool

RKDA International has introduced the IT-based Independence Check Tool AURE.IND to manage the independence queries. The tool’s functions are described in the A 2.4 User_manual.docx.

Each RKDA office is obliged to examine the independence of RKDA international network partners outside its home country when accepting new audit engagements (see A 2.4 User_manual.docx).

The international partners can choose to use the AURE.IND tool either by uploading information on their existing clients for the automatic independence check or can login and answer manually to each independence query. Initial client list to be uploaded is included in specific sheet of A2.1AURE:IND_import_file and will be automatically uploaded in the tool by the service provider. After initial upload, the partners need to regularly update the information on those clients every 90 days. Please report once per year to Kolja Guzy (mentor@rkda.in) (deadline 31st March of each year) that your data input is up to date.

If your firm does not have access to the Independence Check Tool yet, please follow steps I to IV

I. Please fill in the A 2.1AURE:IND_import_file (office details and user accounts) and mail a soft copy of this Excel Sheet to Kolja Guzy (mentor@rkda.in) .

We will forward your data to the service provider for uploading on AURE.IND tool. Please do not change the structure of the file (by deleting or adding lines or columns) and fill in all sheets for each category. Please be informed there can be only one branch partner (who is automatically a user as well) and multiple users within your firm.

II. Once your data is incorporated in the database, your user account, defined as branch partner account, will receive a welcome email with the login details and password for AURE.IND.

III. As soon as you received your login details from RKDA Independence, you are requested to upload your clients by yourself and regularly keep your data up to date (in case your choice was to provide client data for automatic independence check) or to answer to every independence request according to email automatic notifications. Please be inform that every RKDA firm is required to use AURE.IND for independence check or responses, even if services provided are other than audit & assurance services.

IV. For each new audit engagement, even if is for a recurrent client of your firm, please use AURE.IND to check your independence within RKDA group.
