Description:
Generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS) provide a framework for conducting high quality audits with competence, integrity, objectivity, and independence. GAGAS contains standards for audits and requirements and guidance dealing with ethics, independence, auditors' professional judgment and competence, quality control, performance of the audit, and reporting. This course will focus on the purpose of performance audits. It describes the features and requirements to provide a basis for good performance audit practices, along with examples to illustrate the application. For instance, it incorporates a flowchart for internal control considerations to assist in applying the requirements. It provides a fraud risk matrix to help auditors determine whether fraud is significant to audit objectives. Finally, it includes samples of audit reports issued under GAGAS. The focus of this course is the latest revision of the Yellow Book, Government Auditing Standards: 2018 Revision.
