    Audit Checklist

    This Appendix includes guidance for reviewing the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG’s) attestation engagements conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards (GAS), Chapter 6, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA’s) Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE). When an auditor conducts an attestation engagement under generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS), the engagement must be conducted in accordance with the SSAEs and additional GAGAS standards. This appendix is not intended to replace auditor judgment, and while comprehensive, the peer review team may also wish to consult with other guidance as warranted. That guidance includes the SSAE and the AICPA’s peer review checklists for attestation engagements (aicpa.org/members/div/practmon/systemreview.asp). In this regard, there are three AICPA checklists covering AICPA requirements and GAGAS: (1) Agreed-Upon Procedures Engagement Checklist – PRP §20,900; (2) Other Attestation Engagement Checklist – PRP §21,000; and (3) Supplemental Checklist for Review of Agreed Upon Procedures and Other Attestation Engagements Performed in Accordance With Government Auditing Standards (Yellow Book) July 2007 Revision – PRP §21,120A.…

    Acc 541 Accounting Standards Board Paper

    The significance of the FASB can be realized by examining the history of formalized accounting theory development. The first organization to officially begin research on accounting standards and theory was the American Accounting Association (AAA) in 1935. This group was formerly the American Association of the University Instructors in Accounting (AAUIA), formed in 1916 to develop accounting curriculum. In 1936, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) was formed by merging the American Society of Certified Public Accountants and the American Institute of Accountants (AIA). The AICPA formed the Committee on Accounting Procedure (CAP) in 1936 to establish generally accepted practices. The official pronouncements of the CAP were Accounting Research Bulletins (ARBs). In…

    The New Government Accounting System (Issues in Public Audit)

    The New Government Accounting System: Issues in Public Audit 1 Introduction Historically, the growth of government auditing and accounting in the Philippines was greatly influenced by the administrative practices in the United States, so much so that during the time that the General Accounting Office in the United States was responsible for the government’s accounting, that concept was similarly introduced in the Philippines. Unfortunately, by the time the practice was abandoned in the United States in favor of a better system, the Philippines has then become independent and hence the change was not followed here.2 COA Promulgates New Accounting System Unlike in the United States where accounting standards are formulated by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) and subsequently enacted into law, such as the Federal Financial Management Act of 19963, the Philippines new government accounting system was formulated almost single-handedly by a team of highly professional and competent COA officials in only a span of four months4. Parenthetically, the FASAB is the standard-setting body in the U.S. composed of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and the Comptroller General, which body is also recognized by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants as the official board that promulgates generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for federal entities.5 Thus, invoking the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines which vests the Commission on Audit with the exclusive authority to promulgate accounting and auditing rules and regulations, the COA promulgated COA Circular No. 2001-004 prescribing a New Government Accounting System (NGAS) for national government agencies, and COA Circular No. 2001-005 for local government units, to take effect January 1, 2002. Subsequently, COA Circular No. 2002-002 was issued prescribing the Manual on the NGAS. In the Foreword to the Manual the need to revamp the…
