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 Statement on Auditing Standards Number 128 written by AICPA and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of its Clarity Project, the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) has issued Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 128, Using the Work of Internal Auditors, to supersede SAS No. 65, The Auditor's Consideration of the Internal Audit Function in an Audit of Financial Statements (AICPA, Professional Standards, AU sec. 322 and AU-C sec. 610), and amend: SAS No. 122, Statements on Auditing Standards: Clarification and Recodification, section 315, Understanding the Entity and Its Environment and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement (AICPA, Professional Standards, AU-C sec. 315); Various other sections in SAS No. 122 (AICPA, Professional Standards, AU-C secs. 200, 220, 230, 240, 260, 265, 300, 402, 500, 550, and 600); and Statement on Quality Control Standards No. 8, A Firm’s System of Quality Control (Redrafted) (AICPA, Professional Standards, QC sec. 10). SAS No. 128 addresses the external auditor’s responsibilities when using the work of internal auditors if it includes (a) using the work of the internal audit function in obtaining audit evidence and (b) using internal auditors to provide direct assistance under the direction, supervision, and review of the external auditor. Consistent with International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 610 (Revised 2013), SAS No. 128 introduces the concept of a systematic and disciplined approach, which is not included in SAS No. 65. Paragraph 13 of SAS No. 128 would require, among other things, as a prerequisite to being able to use the work of the internal audit function, that the external auditor evaluate the application by the internal audit function of a systematic and disciplined approach, including quality control. Paragraphs A12–A14 of SAS No. 128 provide application guidance with regard to the application of a systematic and disciplined approach. The ASB believes that relative to SAS No. 65, this requirement represents an additional and explicit evaluation that the external auditor would need to perform to conclude on the appropriateness of using the work of internal auditors.

Download or read book Interpretation and Application of International Standards on Auditing written by Steven Collings and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 707 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by Steven Collings, winner of Accounting Technician of the Year at the British Accountancy Awards 2011, this book deals with the significant changes auditing has undergone in recent years, due in large part to well-publicised corporate disasters such as Enron and Parmalat, which have shaken the profession. In response, many countries have replaced pre-existing domestic standards with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) in an attempt to ensure that auditors throughout the world apply the same level of standards during all audit assignments, and that audit quality remains consistent on a global basis. International Standards on Auditing are frequently updated to improve and clarify their application throughout the audit and accounting profession. They can be extremely complex and difficult to apply in real life situations. It is essential to apply the standards with sufficient rigor to enable an efficient audit to take place, to satisfy the regulators and ensure that the client receives and audit which is beneficial, cost effective, and which conforms to the prescribed framework; however, auditors are often criticised for failing to do so. Recognising that auditing is not always an exact science, and that in many cases the auditor is called upon to make a judgement in situations open to differing opinions, this book takes a practical and pragmatic approach to following International Standards on Auditing. Steve Collings looks at the full ISAs in their final form, as reissued following the IAASB 'Clarity Project', and give auditors guidance on how to interpret and apply them in real life situations. Each redrafted or rewritten ISA is dealt with in a separate chapter, containing case studies and illustrative examples. The book also covers the regulatory framework of auditing and gives a summary of the five ethical standards applicable to auditors, as mapped by the IAASB. Detailed appendices provide an overview of IFRS and IAS, illustrative audit tests and illustrative financial statements.
