Transparent reporting and results

The GTAR inspections are a key component of our system of quality control and provide information for member firms referring work within the network. To provide information to firms referring work within the network, the first part of the GTAR inspection report, which sets out the overall opinion including a description of any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the member firm’s system of quality control, is now available to designated member firm representatives on the Grant Thornton global intranet site.

Synthesising and evaluating programme results
There is a regular review of findings from the GTAR programme by the global leadership of the assurance practice to consider whether there are any changes that should be made to training, audit methodology, tools or internal standards and guidelines regarding quality controls. A summary of the key findings from the GTAR programme is communicated to all member firms on an annual basis.
