Description:

This course describes the requirements created by the Government Auditing Standards, known as the Yellow Book. Government auditing is essential in delivering an objective and independent view of government programs and services. It reinforces the expectation that the government entities will carry out their functions effectively, efficiently, ethically and in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. In other words, an effective government audit activity strengthens governance by significantly increasing citizens’ ability to hold the government entities accountable through the use of internal or external audit services or a combination of the two.
