This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audits provide essential accountability and transparency over government programs. 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.

Download or read book Audit Reports written by Paul Coram and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The auditor's report is central to the value of the audit process. Research shows that the auditor's report per se has value to users of financial reports. It provides users with an enhanced level of reliability and confidence in their evaluation of a company's financial statements, and this chapter presents some of the research supporting this assertion. The auditor's report is intended to communicate to users that reasonable assurance is provided by the auditor that there are no material misstatements in the financial statements. While users have a broad understanding of this, research suggests that there is a significant gap between auditors and users' understanding of what is provided - often referred to as the 'expectations gap'.This lack of understanding by users often does not manifest itself in any particular issues as long as the audited entity continues to be a going concern. However, misperceptions are highlighted when there is a 'crisis' such as in 2008, and users start to ask why the auditor did not do more. It is in times such as these that the expectations gap becomes a prominent issue and focus is directed at what the auditor did or did not say in the auditor's report. Related to (or contributing to) this gap, research also shows that the auditor's report is generally not read beyond users evaluating whether it is modified or not - and perhaps to check whether it was audited by a Big 4 auditor or not. It should be noted that viewing the auditor's report as a pass/fail document does provide some value to many users, but the evidence suggests that it also contributes to a significant lack of understanding of auditing. Research suggests that the standard or 'boilerplate' nature of auditor's reports is also part of the problem. Related to this is the fact that auditor's reports mainly focus on trying to explain what an audit is, whereas the research suggests that users want information about the specific audit that was conducted. Current proposals of the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) suggest a few ways of making auditor's reports more informative.

Download or read book Auditor Going Concern Reporting written by Marshall A. Geiger and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Auditor reporting on going-concern-related uncertainties remains one of the most challenging issues faced by external auditors. Business owners, market participants and audit regulators want an early warning of impending business failure. However, companies typically do not welcome audit opinions indicating uncertainty regarding their future viability. Thus, the auditor's decision to issue a "going concern opinion" (GCO) is a complex and multi-layered one, facing a great deal of tension. Given such a rich context, academic researchers have examined many facets related to an auditor's decision to issue a GCO. This monograph reviews and synthesizes 182 recent GCO studies that have appeared since the last significant review published in 2013 through the end of 2019. The authors categorize studies into the three broad areas of GCO 1) determinants, 2) accuracy, and 3) consequences. As an integral part of their synthesis, they summarize the details of each study in several user-friendly tables. After discussing and synthesizing the research, they present a discussion of opportunities for future research, including issues created or exacerbated as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. This monograph will be of assistance to researchers interested in exploring this area of auditor responsibility. It will also be of interest to auditing firms and individual practitioners wanting to learn what academic research has examined and found regarding this challenging aspect of audit practice. Auditing standard-setters and regulators will find it of interest as the authors review numerous studies examining issues related to audit policy and regulation, and their effects on GCO decisions. The examination of GCO research is extremely timely given the financial and business disruption caused by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. This unprecedented global event has caused companies, auditors and professional bodies to revisit and reassess their approach to going concern, and to think even more deeply about this fundamental business imperative"

Download or read book The Importance of Clarification of Auditors Responsibilities Under the New Audit Reporting Standards written by Ann G. Backof and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the uncertainty regarding auditors' responsibilities, standard setters considered the need for clarification of technical terms such as reasonable assurance in the new audit reporting models. The PCAOB ultimately decided to exclude clarifying language from its final standard while the IAASB made such language mandatory. Given this difference in reporting models, this study investigates the role clarification plays in auditor negligence. We find that absent clarification, jurors perceive auditors as more negligent when the audit report includes a related CAM disclosure than when it does not. However, clarifying what is meant by reasonable assurance mitigates this increase in auditors' liability exposure by reducing jurors' perceptions of auditors' causal control over the misstatement at the time of the audit. Supplemental experiments indicate that the litigation protection associated with clarifying language is a robust finding that persists across the type of audit procedures performed to address the critical area. Thus, our evidence suggests that the PCAOB's decision to not include such language in the new audit reporting model may have been shortsighted.
