For firms that have already implemented CSQM 1. This session highlights 2026 updates, changes and considerations to help you complete annual monitoring and update your existing CSQM 1 system.
This session is designed for non-assurance firms that have already implemented CSQM 1 and are now completing their annual quality management and monitoring activities.
This is not a “how to implement CSQM 1” course. Instead, the session focuses on what existing CSQM 1 systems may need to address or update for the current annual cycle. We will highlight changes, developments and practical considerations that may affect your firm's quality objectives, quality risks, responses, engagement-level processes and monitoring activities.
The goal is to help firms determine what needs attention this year, what documentation may need to be updated, and what can reasonably be carried forward from the prior year.
This session is particularly helpful for partners, quality management leaders and others responsible for maintaining and annually evaluating an established CSQM 1 system who want practical guidance on completing the 2026 annual cycle efficiently and appropriately.
Already implemented CSQM 1? This session will help you maintain it, update it and complete your 2026 annual requirements — rather than start from scratch.
