- Understand the accounting principles generally accepted in the other country.
- Be certified by the appropriate auditing or accountancy board of the other country.
- Notify management that the auditor is required to disclaim an opinion on the financial statements.
- Receive a waiver from the auditor’s state board of accountancy to perform the engagement.
