GAAS Practical Manual (2012) (with CD-ROM) (U.S.)

Available: October 2011

The primary objective of the GAAS Practice Manual is to provide a complete, quick and valuable reference source for the practitioner of the currently effective pronouncements of Statements on Auditing Standards, Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements, Statements on Standards on Accounting and Review Services, and the new PCAOB Auditing Standards–and the interpretations of those standards.

Although the Sections in this book follow the sequence of sections presented in the AICPA's Professional Standards, the material is presented and analyzed in a different format. Each Section is divided into three major parts:

  1. What Every Practitioner Should Know–which discusses the specific standard, its basic requirement and the practitioner's essential responsibilities.
  2. Practice Issues and Frequently Asked Questions–which focuses on techniques for applying the standard by using a Q&A format.
  3. Illustrations and Practice Aids–which includes checklists, questionnaires, sample working papers, sample correspondence, and sample accountant's reports.

    Many of the illustrations and practice aids in the book appear on the free, companion CD-ROM that comes with GAAS Practice Manual. The adaptable sample letters, reports and checklists found in the text can be printed and customized to meet all of your auditing needs.

    The Manual includes a cross-reference to the original pronouncements chart and a detailed topical index.

    The 2012 edition has been updated for new pronouncements through the issuance of SAS-121 (Revised Applicability of Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100, Interim Financial Information).

    The 2012 edition is current through the following pronouncements:

    - SAS-121 (Revised Applicability of Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100, Interim Financial Information)

    - SSAE-17 Reporting on Compiled Prospective Financial Statements When the Practitioner’s Independence Is Impaired)

    - SSARS-20 (Revised Applicability of Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services)

    The 2012 edition also provides information on the AICPA's Accounting Standards Board (ASB) Clarity Project, which aims to clarify U.S. GAAS and converge them with international auditing standards.

    Extant individual AU Sections that are affected by the ASB's Clarity Project contain Practice Points that address the issuance of (1) exposure drafts of clarified auditing standards, or (2) final clarified auditing standards, as applicable. In addition, as the 2012 GAAS Practice Manual goes to press, the ASB has issued SASs
