GAAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards) are the auditing standards, practices and procedures in use today which must be followed and referenced when undertaking an audit. This guide explains and interprets the standards clearly and comprehensively. Organized in the same way as practitioners use the Statements on Auditing Standards (SAS), it presents each statement one by one and explains how the standards are related. It includes explanations, practice notes, practical illustrations, checklists and questionnaires to guide the user through the auditing process. There is detailed explanation of all new SAS standards, including fraud detection and implementation, electronic evidence and auditing investments.

The most practical, easy–to–use GAAS resource available.

Accountants rely on this handy quick–reference guide to help them interpret and apply the latest audit, attest, review, and compilation standards and with good reason. Written by the primary authors of the AICPA Statements on Auditing Standards (SASs) and Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAEs), this book distills the official language of SASs, SSAEs and Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services (SSARSs) into easy–to–read, understandable advice.
