Given the current challenges facing governments and their programs, the oversight provided through auditing is more critical than ever. Government auditing provides the objective analysis and information needed to make the decisions necessary to help create a better future. The professional standards presented in this 2018 revision of Government Auditing Standards (known as the Yellow Book) provide a framework for performing high-quality audit work with competence, integrity, objectivity, and independence to provide accountability and to help improve government operations and services. These standards, commonly referred to as generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS), provide the foundation for government auditors to lead by example in the areas of independence, transparency, accountability, and quality through the audit process. This revision contains major changes from, and supersedes, the 2011 revision.

This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO determined the reasons for disparities between the amount of contract and grant costs questioned by auditors and the amount eventually disallowed by program managers. GAO generally found that proper procedures are used in reaching decisions to allow costs. However, GAO questioned procedures used in instances representing $163 million in allowed costs at six agencies. Program managers are partially responsible because they do not: (1) hold auditees accountable for correcting program deficiencies identified by audits; (2) adequately address issues raised by auditors; or (3) adequately justify decisions in writing. Questionable procedures identified by GAO include: (1) allowing questioned costs because of a proposed future audit; (2) allowing questioned costs because the auditee submitted a plan to correct identified deficiencies; (3) using special provisions to allow questioned costs; (4) allowing questioned costs on the basis of administrative actions; (5) allowing questioned costs on the grounds the auditee provided certification that costs were appropriately incurred; and (6) allowing questioned costs without providing, as required by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines, written justification as to why program officials disagreed with auditors. GAO also found: (1) some problems with audit quality, but it was unable to determine the extent of auditing errors; (2) that auditors do not always follow up on audit recommendations; and (3) that auditors do not always provide accurate and complete information to Congress regarding audit resolution.
