The APB has issued a revision of ISA (UK and Ireland) 600, 'Using the Work of Another Auditor', which will apply to audits of financial statements for periods commencing on or after 6 April 2008. According to the APB's press release:

"The main effect of the revision is to add a new requirement that in an audit of group financial statements the principal auditor should document any review that it undertakes, for the purpose of the group audit, of the audit work conducted by other auditors. This reflects a new requirement in Schedule 10, paragraph 10A, of the Companies Act 2006, implementing a provision of the European Statutory Audit Directive".
