Overarching Changes Affecting all Guides

Terminology Changes (AU-C section 200) General, Field Work and Reporting Standards (10 General Standards) have been replaced If an auditor fulfills the overall objective of the audit and meets applicable ethical requirements the ASB believes that the auditor will have fulfilled the requirements currently stated in the 10 standards

Terms of Engagement (AU-C section 210) Requires the auditor to determine if preconditions for an audit are present Acceptable financial reporting framework in the preparation and presentation of the financial statements and management acknowledgement of responsibility The auditor is required to obtain the agreement of management that it: acknowledges and understands its responsibility for selecting the appropriate financial reporting framework, establishing and maintaining internal control, and providing access and information to the auditor. Auditor generally should not accept engagement with management-imposed scope limitation

Considerations of Laws and Regulations (AU-C section 250) requires the performance of procedures to identify instances of noncompliance with those laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements Opening Balances in Initial Audits (AU-C section 510) Strengthens existing standards by making clear that reviewing a predecessor auditor’s audit documentation cannot be the only procedure performed to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding opening balances.

Group Audits (AU-C section 600) Definitions Responsibilities of the Group Engagement Partner Making Reference Involvement With, and Understanding of, Component Auditors Materiality Communication with Others and Documentation Archived GAQC Web event, New Group Audits Standard and Its Effect on Your Governmental and Not-For-Profit Audits Using the Work of an Auditor’s Specialist (AU-C 620) Incremental documentation requirements for in-firm specialists

Overarching Changes Affecting all Guides (Reporting)
Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements (AU-C 700) Description of management’s responsibility in more detail than AU section 508 Use of headings to clearly distinguish each section of the report Report on the Financial Statements Management's Responsibility for the F/S More robust wording Auditor’s Responsibility Opinion(s) Other Matters Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Emphasis of Matter (AU-C section 706) Refers to a matter appropriately presented or disclosed in the financial statements that, in the auditor’s professional judgment, is of such importance that it is fundamental to users’ understanding of the financial statements. Other Matter (AU-C section 706) Refers to a matter other than those presented or disclosed in the financial statements that, in the auditor’s professional judgment, is relevant to users’ understanding of the audit, the auditor’s responsibilities, or the auditor’s report

Terminology Changes Extant Term Clarified Term Standard Report Term not used because we refer to the opinion and not the report Clean opinion/Qualified Opinion Unmodified Opinion/Modified Opinion Explanatory Paragraph Emphasis-of-matter paragraph or other-matter paragraph (as applicable) Explanatory Language Additional communication

What you Should Expect for Updates to Guide Content and Illustrative Reports

GAS-A133 Guide

Part I: Financial Statement Audits Under Government Auditing Standards
Major changes in 2013 edition relate to 2011 edition of Government Auditing Standards (Yellow Book or YB) and clarity auditing standards Relevant professional standards and applicable Audit and Accounting Guides (SLG and NFP Guides) are primary source of information on GAAS financial statement audit requirements Describes GAAS to the extent necessary to explain the related requirements of the YB

Chapter 1 – Introduction and Overview of Government Auditing Standards
2011 Yellow Book now incorporates all AICPA auditing standards Previous Yellow Book did not adopt AICPA general standards (pre-clarity) As per AU-C 200 this means that all auditors performing Government Auditing Standards audits are subject to all AICPA auditing standards Compliance with AICPA Code of Professional Conduct Geography Changes Overview material updated and moved into chapter 1 Applicability of the Yellow Book Use of terminology to define Yellow Book requirements

Chapter 2 - The Ethical Principles and General Standards in Government Auditing Standards
Chapters have been realigned with the revised chapters of the YB Greatly expanded independence content Conceptual Framework for independence Independence of mind and in appearance Emphasis on the importance of considering individual threats to independence both individually and in aggregate Focus on nonaudit services requirements Comparison of AICPA and YB independence requirements added

Expanded Independence Documentation Discussion Auditors required to assess and document whether management possesses suitable skills, knowledge or experience (SKE) to oversee nonaudit services Documentation also required when threats are significant and safeguards are applied

Updated all YB general standard material – for example: Peer Review – changes to align YB with AICPA Peer Review Standards Peer review report terminology Continuing Professional Education Distinction made between internal and external specialists External specialists are not required to meet the YB CPE requirements (audit team should determine that external specialists are qualified and competent)

Chapter 3 - Planning and Performing a Financial Statement Audit in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards GAAS content modified due to restructure of the YB All AICPA standards adopted; YB does not repeat GAAS emphasis areas like it used to Very few additional YB requirements remain Auditor communication Previous audits and attestation engagements Fraud, noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, and abuse Developing elements of a finding Audit documentation

Chapter 3 - Planning and Performing a Financial Statement Audit in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards Terms of Engagement (AU-C section 210) Already covered the basics earlier in the presentation – chapter emphasizes the preconditions, etc. Chapter provides updated list of items to be considered for the engagement letter that specifically relate to the YB Auditor responsibilities and the reports the auditor is expected to issue and prepare Management’s responsibilities – See YB Appendix I, section A1.08 Considerations when nonaudit services performed

Chapter 3 - Planning and Performing a Financial Statement Audit in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards Consideration for Laws and Regulations in an Audit of Financial Statements (AU-C section 250) Specific procedures to detect illegal acts, including inspecting correspondence Emphasis that YB adds “provisions of contracts and grants” Written Representations (AU-C section 580) Chapter provides updated list of items that may be relevant in representation letter for a YB audit Primarily just tinkered with wording to ensure matched clarity standards and YB Group Audits (AU-C section 600) Guidance just points to the SLG and NFP guides for details of affect of AU-C section 600 on financial statement audits and Chapter 4 for reporting illustrations

Chapter 4 - Auditor Reporting Requirements and Other Communication Considerations of Government Auditing Standards Chapter and illustrations reflect new YB and many AU-C sections as follows: AU-C 265, Communicating Internal Control Related Matters Identified in an Audit AU-C 700, Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements AU-C 705, Modifications to the Opinion in the Independent Auditor's Report AU-C 720, Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements AU-C 725, Supplementary Information In Relation to the Financial Statements as a Whole AU-C 730, Required Supplementary Information AU-C 905, Alert that Restricts the Use of the Auditor's Written Communication

Chapter 4 - SLG and NFP Financial Statement Report Changes
Revised wording to adhere to new requirements in both the clarity auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards Subheadings added Management's Responsibility Auditor's Responsibility Other Matters (e.g., reporting required supplementary information or other information) Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards- new subheading describing the linkage to the reporting required by YB Minor change - standards indicate report should be addressed to “appropriate addressee” and city and state added

Chapter 4 - Yellow Book Reporting Changes
Wording changes for clarity standards and YB Reports now assume governmental entity; footnotes provide revisions needed for NFPs Added the title, “Independent Auditor’s Report” Maintained the existing report subheadings of "Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" and "Compliance and Other Matters" Reference to management letter no longer required in YB report Replaced the "restricted use alert" with a "purpose alert" as required by AU-C 905 Access the clarified illustrative Government Auditing Standards reports.

Part II: Circular A-133 Audits
Changes relate primarily to the clarity auditing standards Most changes not considered significant Chapters 6 (planning) and13 (reporting) had the most changes Significant changes for Part II in future edition of this Guides once current single audit reform efforts becomes effective

Chapter 6 - Planning Considerations of Circular A-133
Updated many standards references and wording due to clarity No significant changes to practice as a result of these changes Group Audits (AU-C section 600) Expected guidance will likely indicate a limited impact on GAS-A133 audits since each major program opined on separately (limited aggregation risk) Other considerations when program administered by multiple organizational units, locations, or branches (already have sampling guidance for these situations)

Chapter 13 - Auditor Reporting Requirements and Other Communication Considerations in a Single Audit
Chapter and illustrations reflect new YB and many AU-C sections as follows: AU-C 265, Communicating Internal Control Related Matters Identified in an Audit AU-C 700, Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements AU-C 705, Modifications to the Opinion in the Independent Auditor's Report AU-C 725, Supplementary Information In Relation to the Financial Statements as a Whole AU-C 905, Alert that Restricts the Use of the Auditor's Written Communication AU-C 935, Compliance Audits

Chapter 13 - Auditor Reporting Requirements and Other Communication Considerations in a Single Audit
Wording changes for both clarity standards and YB Used major headings to clarify that the reporting includes several distinct reports Report on Compliance for Each Major Program (opinion-level assurance) Report on Internal Control over Compliance (byproduct reporting on internal control over compliance); Report on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) - only if such in-relation-to reporting is included here Report examples now illustrate in body of the report how to report on the SEFA within the A-133 report; not implying that this is a best practice

Chapter 13 - Circular A-133 Report Changes
Use of subheads within the Report on Compliance for Each Major Program similar to that used in a financial statement audit report No subheads used within the Report on Internal Control Over Compliance How opinion modification(s) on one or more major federal programs modify the report wording and how the use of subheads should be applied in this context Replaced the "restricted use alert" with a new "purpose alert" and clarified that such an alert only relates to the reporting on internal control over compliance

Chapter 13 - Circular A-133 Report Changes
Added example of how an auditor might include a table within the report to more clearly articulate findings that modify an opinion on a major federal program or relate to material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, or other noncompliance findings (this change was unrelated to the clarity standards) How a paragraph relating to management's response to findings is placed in both the Report on Compliance for Each Major Program and the Report on Internal Control over Compliance when there are findings noted in each area Access the clarified illustrative Circular A-133 reports.

State and Local Governments – Audit and Accounting Guide

SLG Chapter 1 – Overview and Introduction
AU-C 200 requires the auditor to express an opinion on whether the f/s are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with an applicable financial reporting framework Take the opportunity to reinforce to your clients the proper reporting framework based upon definition of a government Refer to definition of a government in paragraph 1.01 of the SLG Guide

SLG Chapter 2 – Financial Reporting
Incorporates Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position Note that Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities, was not incorporated into the 2013 Guide Terminology changes Net assets is now net position Adds in elements ‘deferred outflows of resources’ (DOR) and ‘deferred inflows of resources’ (DIR) Describes the Statement of Net Position Separate reporting (DOR/DIR not combined with assets/liabilities) Cannot net DOR/DIR Presentation when there are multiple DOR/DIR

SLG Chapter 4 – General Auditing Considerations
General Reorganization of the Chapter Much of the content is the same but the topics were reordered to align with the flow of clarity standards and wording updated Terms of Engagement (AU-C 210) Requires the auditor to determine if preconditions for an audit are present Preconditions for an audit include, among other things, the use by management of an acceptable financial reporting framework in the preparation and presentation of the financial statements.

Group Audits It can be analogized that each opinion unit is equivalent to its own group and likely there would be no additional requirements under AU-C section 600 if an opinion unit met the definition of a component (unless the component was audited by other auditors). Component versus component unit Making reference The GASB financial reporting framework allows certain nongovernmental component units that report under the FASB financial reporting framework, to be incorporated into the reporting entity’s financial statements. In these circumstances, the group auditor may make reference to the audit of a component auditor.

Group Audits Factors that auditors may consider in identifying components for state and local governments include: Portion of audit performed by other auditors Governance, legal, and management structures Equity method investments Decentralization of operations Outsourcing of operations Nature of activities and uniqueness of relationship to the entity Control environment Subsequent events GAQC Web event titled, Understanding the Potential Impacts of the New Group Audits SAS on Your Governmental and Not-For-Profit Audit Engagements

SLG Chapter 13 – Concluding the Audit
Considerations for an Emphasis of Matter Evaluate instances when there are indicators of substantial doubt of the government’s ability to continue as a going concern, but collectively the indicators do not meet the criteria under GASB Statement No. 56. If indicators could significantly curtail the government’s ability to continue to provide public services at the current level – Consider including an emphasis of matter paragraph to assist users in understanding the financial position of the government entity Other changes were to align to wording in AU-C but no major changes or expansion from the extant AUs

Report Changes Report on the Financial Statements Define what has been audited – dependent upon the engagement Wording diverges from AU-C 700 because of opinion units Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Consistent across illustrations Auditor’s Responsibility Includes modifications for audits performed under Government Auditing Standards – but auditors need to look to the GAS A-133 Guide for more guidance Requires modification for opinion/opinions and reference to other auditors

Not-for-Profit Entities – Audit and Accounting Guide

NFP Guide Updates NFP Entities
The Guide covers entities that meet the definition of a NFP included in the FASB ASC glossary. An entity that possesses the following characteristics, in varying degrees, that distinguish it from a business entity: Contributions of significant amounts of resources from resource providers who do not expect commensurate or proportionate pecuniary return Operating purposes other than to provide goods or services at a profit Absence of ownership interests like those of business entities

NFP Guide Updates NFP Entities (Continued)
The Guide also covers entities that clearly fall outside this definition: All investor-owned entities Entities that provide dividends, lower costs, or other economic benefits directly and proportionately to their owners, members, or participants, such as mutual insurance entities, credit unions, farm and rural electric cooperatives, and employee benefit plans. Caveats…there are NFPs that meet the definition of an NFP without possessing characteristics. For example, some NFPs, such as those that receive all their revenue from exchange transactions, receive no contributions. Ensure you are using the correct Guide for your client!

NFP Chapter 2 – General Auditing Considerations – Clarity Implications
Terms of Engagement Audit Planning Group Audits Materiality Fraud and Errors Compliance (Laws and Regulations)
