Voluntary Code of Practice on Disclosure of Audit Profitability
The Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies (CCAB) has published a Voluntary Code of Practice on Disclosure of Audit Profitability. It takes effect for accounting periods beginning on or after 6 April 2009.

Publication of the Code follows an invitation from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) for the CCAB to develop guidance to audit firms on the voluntary disclosure of the financial results of their work on statutory audits and directly related services.

The Code is in line with a recommendation by the FRC’s Market Participants Group (MPG), developed as part of the Choice in the UK Audit Market project. The MPG published its Final Report in October 2007

Exposure Draft - Voluntary Code of Practice on Disclosure of Audit Profitability
In October 2006, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) established a Market Participants Group (‘MPG’) to provide advice in relation to its Choice in the UK Audit Market project. The MPG published its Final Report in October 2007.

Recommendation 2 stated that ‘Audit firms should disclose the financial results of their work on statutory audits and directly related services on a comparable basis.’ The Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies (CCAB) was then invited to develop guidance to audit firms on the voluntary disclosure of this information.
