Abstract

The authors carried out research in which they identified errors in published audit reports carried out by some independent auditors from Bosnia and Herzegovina. They also carried out the analysis on causes for the identified errors. Through the analysis of the collected audit reports it has been established the existence of numerous deviations comparing to the requirements of the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) 700 and 701, with aspect of the formal contents of the reports as well as the essence of the reports. The research established that the causes of the identified errors are: inadequate legislature in Bosnia and Herzegovina, inadequate continuous education of the auditors, insufficiently developed auditing practice, absence or inadequate internal control of quality in most audit firms, and absence of public supervision on the state level. The recently passed law which refers to accounting and auditing opens some more space for certain improvements, especially through establishing the Audit Chamber and the Public Supervision Board.
